Abstract
Physicochemical properties, free sugar and volatile flavor compounds of citrons harvested in different cultivation areas, such as Geoje, Goseong, Goheung, and Namhae, were analyzed and compared. Total weight of citron, ranging from 107.97 g to 154.86 g, was significantly different according to producing area. Weight ratio of flesh to whole citron was higher than one of peel in citron produced from Geoje, Goheung-improved, or Namhae-native. Citron size was the highest in Namhae-native citron, but the color of peel was significantly the higher in Goheung-native and its improved citron. In the peel of citron, hardness of citron produced from Geoje was the strongest (2337.13 $cm/kg^2$) whereas citron produced from Goseong (1592.38 $cm/kg^2$) showed the softest hardness. Moisture content was 85.35~87.81 g/100 g and ash was contained below 0.8 g/100 g in flesh of all samples. Although crude fiber content in Geoje ctiron was significantly the lowest in the peel, peel was 1.88~2.60 times higher than flesh. The order of sugar content seemed to be fructose> glucose> sucrose in all citrons, and content of fructose or glucose was higher in peel than flesh. Content of total sugar was 8.44~12.19 g/100 g in citron, and contents of improved citrons from Goheung and Namhae were significantly higher than those of native citrons. In addition, major volatile compounds were dl-limonene (59.52~74.30%) and $\gamma$-terpinene (5.60~7.88%) among 15 kinds of volatile compounds identified from citron peel. These results suggested that physicochemical properties and volatile flavor compounds of citrons showed some differences with regard to producing areas.
