New insights into the microemulsion-based chromatographic NMR resolution mechanism and its application to fragrance/flavor molecules

► NMR chromatography method is applied to flavor and aroma compounds. ► Up to 11 selected compounds in one mixture are resolved. ► O/W and W/O microemulsions are explained in terms of hydrophilicity & lipophilicity. ► Diffusion rates of molecules are predicted helping choose chromatography solvent.
