An attempt was made in this study to analyze volatile flavor components of fresh and odorless garlic (Allium sativum L.), Essential oils in fresh garlic and odorless garlic were isolated by a simultaneous steam distillation and extraction(SDE) method using n-pentane/diethy ether as solvent. A total of 21 and 22 components were identified by GC/MS from the essential oils of fresh garlic and odorless garlic, respectively. Diallyl trisulfide, diallyl disulfide and methyl allyl disulfide were found to be major volatile flavor components in fresh garlic and odorless garlic. By the preparation of ordorless garlic, 77.5% of diallyl trisulfide, 15.0% of diallyl disulfde, 72% of methyl allyl disulfide, and 78.4% of allyl thiol components in fresh garlic were lost. Eleven compounds including 2-vinyl-4H-1,3-dithiin, eugenol and 2-methoxy-4-vinyl-phenol were identified in odorless garlic, but not m fresh garlic.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in proximate composition, free sugars, amino acids, fatty acids and Hunter color vaules between fresh and odorless garlic. The contents of crude fiber, crude fat and ash in odorless garlic were silmilar to those in fresh garlic. Sugars and crude protein decreased during manufacture of odorless garlic. Among the free sugars, sucrose, maltose and fructose decreased in odorless garlic, while the content of glucose increased. Total amino acid content decreased by about 30% in odorless garlic. Among the amino acids decreased arginine, isoleucine etc. The contents of linoleic acid, palmitic acid and oleic acid were higher than those of other fatty acids in fresh garlic and odorless garlic, but laruric acid was in little quantity. There were no singnificant differences in the Hunter L and b value between the fresh and odorless garlic, but value for greeness(-a) was lower in odorless garlic.
