Abstract

In this study, "Hongro" apples for test samples were selected from a market for aroma analysis. Analysis was done after 1 hr, in a forming headspace while maintaining a temperature of $25^{\circ}C$. First, the complex aroma of the apples was assessed by a Direct Sensory Method. Secondly, the complex aroma was analyzed under individual aroma conditions separated by GC/FID/Olfactometry. Finally, aroma component analysis by GC/MS was performed. Degrees of contribution of aroma components were evaluated by an aroma value calculation considering aroma duration time, frequency, and intensity. The contribution rate (%) of the aroma induction component influencing apple aroma was determined by aroma component analysis and aroma contribution degree. As a result, it was found that the top four components were as follows, by contribution rate (%): acetic acid (23%), 1-hexanol (16%), butyl ethanoate (13%), 4-methoxy-2-methylbutane (9%). These four components constitute the complex aroma tested by the direct sensory method, and was largely recognized by the apple aroma test panel. Consequently, it was found that these components are the key factors in apple aroma. If the mechanism of formation of these components can be found, it could have a significant influence on consumers' acceptance of new varieties of apples.

이 연구에서는 사과 홍로의 향 성분들을 분석하고 기여도를 평가하였다. 사과는 시중에서 유통 중인 홍로를 선택하여 헤드스페이스를 형성시킨 후 $25^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 보관하여 분석을 실시하였다. 향기의 분석은 먼저 관능검사법으로 사과의 복합향기를 측정하고, GC/FID/Olfactometry를 사용하여 개별향기로 분리하였을 때 복합향기의 향기가 검출되는지 확인한 뒤 GC/MS를 이용하여 향기성분을 분석하였다. 향기성분의 기여도는 향기를 수치화하기 위하여 향기지속 시간과 향기강도를 고려하여 향기 값을 계산하여 평가하였다. 향기성분의 분석과 기여도 평가를 통하여 사과의 향에 영향을 주는 향기유발성분의 기여율(%)을 구할 수 있었다. 그 결과 기여율(%)이 가장 높게 나타난 물질은 acetic acid(23%), 1-hexanol(16%), butyl ethanoate(13%), 2-methyl-butyl butanoate (9%) 등 4개의 물질로 나타났다. 이 물질은 관능검사법으로 평가한 복합향기와도 일치하며 향기평가요원들이 가장 많이 인지한 향기이기도 하다. 이것으로 이 물질이 사과의 향을 결정짓는 중요한 인자로 작용한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이 물질의 생성 메커니즘을 파악하게 된다면 새로운 사과의 품종 개발에 있어 주요한 영향을 미칠 것이며 소비자의 구매만족도를 향상시킬 수 있을 것이다.
