Volatile Flavor Components in Green Tea Blended with Parched Naked Barley

To produce a new tea with a good flavor and functional properties using green tea of low quality, naked barley and barley were selected to blend with the green tea. The simultaneous distillation extraction method (SDE) using Likens and Nickerson's extraction apparatus was used to extract the volatile flavor compounds from the samples. The concentrated flavor extracts were analyzed and identified by GC and GC-MS. The GC patterns of the flavor components in two parched barleys were very different. The main volatile flavor components in two of the samples were alkyl pyrazines. Compounds including 3-methylbutanal, 2-methylbutanal, dihydro-2-methyl-3(2H)-furanone, 2,5-dimethyl pyrazine, and 3-ethyl-2.5-dimethyl pyrazine were isolated from the naked barley. Compounds including thiophenes, thiazoles, sulfides, and pyrroles with burnt odor were isolated from the barley. The parched naked barley was better than barley for adding to green tea. The main aroma components of the green tea blended with the naked barley were hexanol, hexanal, trans-2-hexenal, ${\beta}$-ionone, ${\alpha}$-ionone, alkyl pyrazines, 3-methylbutanal, 2-methylbutanal, and furfural.

볶은 쌀보리를 혼합한 녹차의 휘발성 향기성분

중작녹차를 효율적으로 이용하여 좋은 향미와 기능성을 가진 차를 만들기 위해 덖은 쌀보리에 중작녹차를 혼합하였다. 쌀보리녹차의 휘발성 향기성분의 추출은 Likens and Nickerson형 추출 장치를 사용한 동시증류추출방법에 의해 완수였으며, 그 농축된 추출물은 GC (Gas chromatography)와 GC-MS (Gas chromatography - mass spectrometry)에 의해 분석되었다. 3-methylbutanal, 2-methylbutanal, 그리고 2,5-dimethyl pyrazine 등의 화합물이 쌀보리로부터 분리, 동정되었다. 그리고 녹차에서는 ${\alpha}$-terpinolene, indole, ${\beta}$-ionone 등을 포함한 화합물을 분리, 동정하였으며, 또한 쌀보리와 녹차를 혼합한 쌀보리녹차에서는 2,5-dimethyl pyrazine, indole, 3-ethyl-2,5-dimethyl pyrazine 등을 포함한 화합물들이 분리, 동정되었다. 그 결과로부터 일반 중작녹차보다 볶은 쌀보리와 녹차를 혼합한 쌀보리녹차가 관능적으로 더 좋은 향미를 주는 요인으로 작용하는 것 같았다.
