An alternative method for irones quantification in iris rhizomes using headspace solid‐phase microextraction

Abstract

Irone quantification in iris rhizome can be achieved using HS-SPME-GC. This method can thus be used for the quality control of the iris rhizomes. It offers the advantage of combining extraction and analysis with an automated device and thus allows a large number of rhizome batches to be analysed and compared in a limited amount of time.
