This study was conducted to investigate the usefulness of Perilla frutescens var. acuta as a natural spice. Volatile flavor components of dried Perilla frutescens var. acuta were extracted by supercritical fluid extraction method using diethyl ether as solvent. Essential oils were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Identification of volatile flavor components was based on the RI of GC and mass spectrum of GC-MS. A total of 24 components, including 4 hydrocarbons, 3 aldehydes, 8 alcohols, 4 esters, 3 acids and 2 miscellaneous components were identified in the essential oils. L-Perillaldehyde was found to be the major volatile flavor component of dried Perilla frutescens var. acuta. The masking effects of Perilla frutescens var. acuta on meaty and fishy flavor were measured by sensory evaluation. Meaty flavor was significantly reduced with the addition of 0.05%, 0.1%, and 0.2% Perilla frutescens var. acuta. The addition of 0.1% and 0.2% powdered Perilla frutescens var. acuta also reduced the fishy flavor of mackerel.

Volatile flavor components in the fruits of dried Zanthoxylum schinifolium were extracted by supercritical fluid extraction method using diethyl ether as solvent. Essential oils were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Identification of volatile flavor components was based on the RI of GC and mass spectrum of GC-MS. A total of 30 components, including 6 hydrocarbons, 4 aldehydes, 8 alcohols, 5 esters, 4 acids and 3 miscellaneous components were identified in the essential oils. Geranyl acetate, ${\beta}$-phellandrene, D-limonene and citronellal were found to be major volatile flavor components in fruits of dried Zanthoxylum schinifolium. The masking effects of Zanthoxylum schinifolium on meaty and fishy flavor were measured by sensory evaluation to investigate the usefulness of Zanthoxylum schinifolium as a natural spice. Meaty flavor was significantly reduced with the addition of 0.05% and 0.1% Zanthoxylum schinifolium. And the addition of 0.l% powdered Zanthoxylum schinifolium also reduced the fishy flavor of mackerel.
