Knowledge of the difference in character and intensity of organoleptically important enantiomeric flavor and fragrance components has initiated the development of new analytical and preparative methods for the separation of optical isomers. In recent years, progress in the area of chirospecific analysis has been especially achieved by the development of modified cyclodextrins as a new type of chiral stationary phase. The state of the art in research on inclusion gas chromatography for separating flavor and fragrance substances is presented. Furthermore, this review reports on new results and recent research developments in enantioselective GC analysis.
