What capillary column do you recommend for testing derivatized triterpenes.

Hi, 
 there are plenty you can use. See here a list with application notes about terpene analyses: 
 SI-00945 = https://www.agilent.com/cs/library/applications/SI-00945.pdf 5994-1411EN = https://www.agilent.com/cs/library/applications/application-selected-terpenes-by-spme%20fiber-dvbcar-wrpdms-5994-1411en-agilent.pdf 5991-1519EN = https://www.agilent.com/cs/library/applications/5991-1519EN.pdf 5990-8391EN = https://www.agilent.com/cs/library/applications/5990-8391EN.pdf C610 = https://www.agilent.com/cs/library/chromatograms/C610.pdf 5991-5680EN = https://www.agilent.com/cs/library/applications/5991-5680EN.pdf 405D = https://www.agilent.com/cs/library/chromatograms/405D.jpg 
 So it's either an apolar type (DB-1, HP-1, etc.) or a polar column (Wax type).
