Determination of the volatile flavor components of orange and grapefruit by simultaneous distillation-extraction

The volatile flavor components of the fruit pulp and peel of orange (Citrus sinensis) and grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) were extracted by simultaneous distillation-extraction (SDE) using a solvent mixture of n-pentane and diethyl ether (1:1, v/v) and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The total volatile flavor contents in the pulp and peel of orange were 120.55 and 4,510.81 mg/kg, respectively, while those in the pulp and peel of grapefruit were 195.60 and 4,223.68 mg/kg, respectively. The monoterpene limonene was identified as the major voltile flavor compound in both orange and grapefruit, exhibiting contents of 65.32 and 3,008.10 mg/kg in the pulp and peel of orange, respectively, and 105.00 and 1,870.24 mg/kg in the pulp and peel of grapefruit, respectively. Limonene, sabinene, ${\alpha}$-pinene, ${\beta}$-myrcene, linalool, (Z)-limonene oxide, and (E)-limonene oxide were the main volatile flavor components of both orange and grapefruit. The distinctive component of orange was valencene, while grapefruit contained (E)-caryophyllene and nootkatone. $\delta$-3-Carene, ${\alpha}$-terpinolene, borneol, citronellyl acetate, piperitone, and ${\beta}$-copaene were detected in orange but not in grapefruit. Conversely, grapefruit contained ${\beta}$-pinene, ${\alpha}$-terpinyl acetate, bicyclogermacrene, nootkatol, ${\beta}$-cubebene, and sesquisabinene, while orange did not. Phenylacetaldehyde, camphor, limona ketone and (Z)-caryophyllene were identified in the pulp of both fruits, while ${\alpha}$-thujene, citronellal, citronellol, ${\alpha}$-sinensal, ${\gamma}$-muurolene and germacrene D were detected in the peel of both fresh fruit samples.

연속수증기증류추출법에 의한 오렌지와 자몽의 휘발성 유기화합물 확인

오렌지와 자몽의 휘발성 향기성분을 분석하기 위하여 과육과 과피로 분리하여 각각 SDE 방법으로 휘발성 성분을 추출한 후 GC-MS로 확인하였다. 오렌지의 과육 및 과피의 휘발성 향기성분은 각각 120.55 및 4,510.81 mg/kg이며, 자몽의 과육과 과피는 195.60 및 4,223.68 mg/kg으로 확인되었다. 오렌지와 자몽의 휘발성 향기성분 중 가장 높은 함량으로 확인된 성분은 monoterpene류인 limonene으로 과육은 65.32 및 105.00 mg/kg으로 과피는 3,008.10 및 1,870.24 mg/kg으로 정량되었다. Limonene, sabinene, ${\alpha}$-pinene, ${\beta}$-myrcene, linalool, (Z)-limonene oxide, (E)-limonene oxide 등은 오렌지와 자몽의 공통적인 주요 향기로 확인되었다. 오렌지의 특징적인 향기성분은 valencene이며, 자몽은 (E)-caryophyllene 및 nootkatone으로 확인되었다. $\delta$-3-Carene, ${\alpha}$-terpinolene, borneol, citronellyl acetate, piperitone 및 ${\beta}$-copaene 등은 오렌지에서만 확인된 화합물이며, ${\beta}$-pinene, ${\alpha}$-terpinyl acetate, bicyclogermacrene, nootkatol, ${\beta}$-cubebene 및 sesquisabinene는 자몽에서만 확인되었다. Phenylacetal dehyde, camphor, limona ketone, (Z)-caryophyllene은 과육에서 확인되었으며, ${\alpha}$-thujene, citronellal, citronellol, ${\alpha}$-sinensal, ${\gamma}$-muurolene, germacrene D 등은 과피에서만 확인된 성분이다. 본 연구결과 오렌지 및 자몽의 과육과 과피의 휘발성 향기성분 함량과 조성의 차이를 확인할 수 있었다.
