Linalool is one of the most important tea aroma components with high content. It has two enantiomeric forms, namely R-(-)-Linalool and S-(+)-Linalool, and R-(-)-Linalool and S-(+)-Linalool have the entirely different aroma quality. However, little investigation has been carried out on the enantiomeric analysis of linalool in teas, and the enantiomeric composition of linalool in tea has not been clearly elucidated to date. In this study, a method using chiral chromatography and based on headspace solid-phase...
