Studies on the Volatile Flavor Components of Spices in Curry

향신료의 휘발성 향미성분에 관한 연구

The volatile components of nutmeg, cumin, cardamon, turmeric, coriander, clove, allspice, cassia, fennel, celery seed and black pepper, having a characteristic spicy aroma and being used as an ingradient of curry powder, were investigated. After steam distillation followed by extraction with diethyl ether: n-pentane(2:1, v/v) mixture, the volatile components were identified by capillary GC and GC/MS. As a result, following major compounds were identified. ${\alpha}-pinene(11.06%)$, ${\beta}-pinene(11.17%)$ and myristicin(19.98%) in nutmeg, cuminaldehyde(37.68%) in cumin, ${\alpha}-terpineol(47.33%)$ and 1, 8-cineol(20.56%) in cardamon, linalool(61.72%) in coriander, eugenol(63.63%) and eugenol acetate(20.59%) in clove, eugenol(80.12%) and methyl eugenol(10.85%) in allspice, cinnamaldehyde(82.29%) in cassia, anethole(79.92%) in fennel.

카레가루 원료로 쓰이면서 독특한 풍미를 내는 육두구(nutmeg), 쿠민(cumin), 카다몬(cardamon), 심황뿌리가루(turmeric), 고수(coriander), 정향(clove), 올스파이스(allspice), 카시아(cassia), 회향(fennel), 셀러리시드(celery seed), 검정후추(black pepper)등 향신료 11종을 상압 수증기 증류하여 얻은 유출액으로부터 Diethyl ether: n-Pentane(2 : 1, v/v)으로 향미성분을 추출한 후, capillary GC와 GC/MS를 이용하여 그 주요 성분들을 동정하였다. 육두구는 ${\alpha}-pinene(11.06%)$, ${\beta}-pinene(11.17%)$, myristicin(19.98%), 쿠민은 cuminaldehyde(37.68%), 카다몬은 ${\alpha)-terpineol(47.33%)$, 1, 8-cineol(20.56%), 고수는 linalool(61.72%), 정향은 eugenol(63.63%), eugenol acetate(20.59%), 올스파이스는 eugenol(80.12%), methyl eugenol(10.85%), 카시아는 cinnamaldehyde(82.29%), 회향은 anethole(79.92%) 등이 주성분이었다.
