Volatile Components of Green Tea(Camellia sinensis L. var. Yabukita) by Purge and Trap Headspace Sampler

Purge와 Trap Headspace Sampler를 이용한 녹차의 휘발성 성분

Volatile components of green tea were isolated by purge and trap headspace method and were analyzed by GC and GC/MSD. And ten headspace volatiles were compared with volatiles isolated by simultaneous distillation-extraction(SDE) method. A total of 99 components were identified in the green tea volatile components, from which 88 components were identified in the headspace volatiles, contained 20 alcohols, 30 hydrocarbons, 21 aldehydes, 10 ketones, 2 acids and 5 miscellaneous components. The major components were low boiling components, such as methyl butanal(3.1%), 1-penten-3-ol(5.48%), 2-penten-1-ol(2.89%), hexanal(5.77%), heptanal(1.90%), and ere 2,4-eptadienal(4.28%), linalool(2.27%), 2,6-dimethyl cyclohexanol(2.57%), $\alpha$-pinene(1.52%), caryophyllene(1.70%), and carbonyl compounds, such as $\alpha$-ionone(2.62%), $\beta$-ionone(2.98%), $\beta$-cyclocitral(2.0%). On the other hand SDE volatiles, from which 64 components were identified, contained 16 alcohols, 16 ydrocarbons, 15 aldehydes, 10 ketones, 3 acids and 4 miscellaneous components. The major components were alcohols, such as, benzyl alcohol(3.79%), linalool(9.52%), terpineol(2.16%), geraniol(2.75%), nerolidol(6.50%), ketones, such as $\alpha$-ionone(1.77%), $\beta$-ionone(4.80%), geranyl acetone(1.82%) and acids, such as hexanoic acid(1.45%), nonanoic acid(1.11%).

Purge와 trap headspace sampler를 사용하여 녹차의 휘발성 성분을 추출, 확인한 후 성분조성을 동시증류추출장치로 추출된 성분가 비교하였다. Headspace법으로는 88개 성분을 확인하였으며 methyl butanal(3.1%), 1-penten-3-ol(5.48%), 2-penten-1-ol(2.89%), hexanal(5.77%), heptanal(2.24%) 등의 비교적 비점이 낮은 성분들과 2,4-heptadienal(4.28%), linalool(2.27%), nonanal(2.06%), 2,6-dimethyl cyclohexanol(2.57%) 및 $\alpha$-pinene(1.52%), caryophyllene(1.70%) 등의 hydrocarbon 화합물, $\beta$-cyclocitral(2.0%), $\alpha$-ionone(2.62%), $\beta$-ionone(2.98%) 같은 carbonyl 화합물이 주요 휘발성 성분으로 확인되었다. SDE법으로는 64개의 성분을 확인하였으며 저비점 성분들보다는 benzyl alcohol(3.79%), linalool(9.52%), terpineol(2.16%), geraniol(2.75%), nerolidol(6.50%) 등의 alcohol 성분들과 $\alpha$-ionone(1.77%), $\beta$-ionone(4.80%), geranyl acetone(1.82%) 등의 ketone 화합물, hexanoic acid(1.45%), nonanoic acid(1.11%) 등의 acid 화합물이 주요 성분으로 확인되었다.
