Gas chromatography is very useful for the determination of complex mixtures of analytes. The detectors employed for the qualitative analysis is a mass spectrometer. Whereas the quantitative analysis, both detectors are useful. Factors affect the separation are the typ>e of the column, temperature programming of the column oven, meanwhile sensitivity is mostly depended on detector as well as the isolation and injection method of the volatile constituents. In qualitative analysis of volatile oil in herbal drugs, a GC-MS is required and LRI of the constituents have to be determined. For quantitative determination both GC-MS and GG-FID are applicable but FID is more economical. Separation of the volatile oils from herbs, steam distilled is still the method of choice for conventional method. Headspace is now widely available and convenient. In this chapter, examples of both qualitative and quantitative analysis of Mimusop elengi flowers and rhizomes of Curcuma spp. were illustrated in details.
