A new method for the enantioselective analysis of essential oils is described, using comprehensive two‐dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC). The column set comprised a primary column containing a cyclodextrin derivative as a chiral selector, and a secondary column containing a polyethylene glycol stationary phase. A cryogenic modulation system was used to achieve the GC×GC experiment. The enantiomeric compositions of a number of monoterpene hydrocarbons and oxygenated monoterpenes in Australian tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia), including α‐thujene, sabinene, β‐pinene, α‐phellandrene, limonene, trans‐sabinene hydrate, cis‐sabinene hydrate, linalool, terpinen‐4‐ol, and α‐terpineol are reported. The GC×GC resolution advantage is shown to improve the efficiency of enantioselective essential oil analyses. In a single temperature programmed analysis, the individual antipodes of optically active components can be separated, and are effectively free from matrix interferences.
