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.
