We investigated the changes in the volatile flavor components of domesticated Codonopsis lanceolata, which were packed in woven polypropylene (WP) film or low density polyethylene (LDPE) film and stored for 15 and 30 days at refrigerated ($2{\sim}4^{\circ}C$) or room ($18{\sim}20^{\circ}C$) temperature (hereafter referred to as WP-RE-15, WP-RO-15, LDPE-RE-15, LDPE-RO-15, WP-RE-30, WP-RO-30, LDPE-RE-30 and LDPE-RO-30). 167 volatile flavor components were identified in the fresh domesticated Codonopsis lanceolata by GC/MS. The volatile flavor components which were identified in the domesticated Codonopsis lanceolata stored for 15 days were as follows ; LDPE-RE (117 components), WP-RO (65 components), WP-RE (49 components), and LDPE-RO (48 components). After 30 days, the numbers of components were as follows : LDPE-RE (99 components), WP-RO (94 components), WP-RE (46 components), and LDPE-RO (85 components). In all conditions, the following 7 volatile flavor components were identified; 1-hexadecene, 2,6-dimethyl-2-octanol, 2-methyl-2-dodecanol, ${\alpha}$-cedrene, ${\beta}-selinene$, farnesane, and isoledene. According to the sensory evaluation, the freshness of domesticated Codonopsis lanceolata was best maintained with LDPE film and under chilled conditions.

This study was carried out to investigate the differences of aroma and taste components among three kinds of kiwifruits from Korea, New Zealand and California. The moisture contents, pH, titratable acidity, organic acid, free sugar and volatile aromas were compared. The free sugar and organic acid were measured simultaneously by GC. Volatile aromas were extracted by simultaneous distillation and extraction and analyzed by GC and GC/MS. The moisture contents, pH and titratable acidity showed almost no differences among the three samples. Among the organic acids, malic acid contents were different. Citric acid contents were similar level. Quinic acid in Korean kiwifruits was extremely low compared to other samples. The total sugar contents were similar in three kiwifruit groups. The composition of major flavor components such as ethyl butanoate, hexanal, propyl butanoate, ethyl pentanoate, 2-hexenal, hexanol, hexanal, linalool oxide, methyl benzoate were different among Korean, New Zealand and California Kiwifruits.
