The elution proles of several essential oils of the Myrtaceae family were acquired using a single enantioselective stationary phase column. These chromatograms were compared with those obtained by using a two‐column coupled system, which comprised a low‐polarity stationary phase column connected to the terminal end of the enantioselective column. The enantiomeric distributions of β ‐pinene, sabinene, α ‐phellandrene, limonene, trans ‐ and cis ‐sabinene hydrate, linalool, terpinen‐4‐ol and α ‐terpineol were determined. The use of a two‐column coupled system is demonstrated to be useful for improving the resolution of target (chiral) compounds from otherwise interfering matrix components.
