Abstract
The purpose of this study was to analyze the flavors of four fresh herbs(rosemary, basil, applemint, and majoram) and when they are fried, boiled, baked, and microwaved. Among the 18 flavors in rosemary, 37.40% was composed of ${\alpha}$-pinene(flavor of refreshing pine). The next highest composition of rosemary was 1,8-ci-neole(fresh, cool, sweet flavor) with 23.34%. In basil, 1,8-cineol had the most composition with 32.9%, and next was 3-hexen-1-ol(delicate floral fragrance) with 20.6%. When it was boiled, it barely had loss and when it was fired, only 10% of its flavor was left. Trans-${\beta}$-ocimene(camphoraceous and pine-like flavor) composed applemint with 16.66% and ${\beta}$-pinene(dry-woody and resinous-piney flavor) with 12.99%. Majoram was composed with 21 differrent flavors, 18.80% was composed of sabinene(spicy, woody-herbaceous flavor) and ${\gamma}$-terpine(citrusy flavor) composed 15.61% of majoram. Majoram had more flavor left when cooked compared to other herbs. In conclusion, rosemary and majoram had the most stability than other herbs, and boiling and baking left more flavor than frying them.
