The enantiomeric differentiation of camphor isolated from natural essential oils and samples from commercial sources was determined using a fused‐silica Lipodex E capillary column. Enantiomerically pure ( S )(−)‐camphor was detected in Chrysanthemum parthenium (L.) Bernh. oil. The ( S )(−)‐enantiomer, with high enantiomeric purity was detected in two types of Salvia offtcinalis L., and ( R )(+)‐camphor with high enantiomeric purity was detected in two other types of S. officinalis and in S. glutinosa L.
