Abstract

Flavor constituents of green tea flower produced in Korea were analyzed by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. 56 compounds in sample were separated and indentified as 22 hydrocarbons, 14 alcohols, 6 aldehydes, 5 esters, and 9 others. Higher concentrated substances were heneicosyl formate, ${\alpha}$-phenyl ethyl alcohol, and acetophenone. Germacrene D as a sesquiterpene were also identified.

국내산 녹차나무꽃의 향기성분을 기체 크로마토그래피 및 질량분석법으로 분석하였다. 시료 중 56종의 화합물이 분리확인되었으며, hydrocarbon류 22종, alcohol류 14종, aldehyde류 6종, ester류 5종, 기타 9종이었다. Heneicosyl formate와 ${\alpha}$-phenyl ethyl alcohol, acetophenone 등이 많이 포함되어 있었고, sesquiterpene 성분인 germacrene D도 확인되었다.
