Abstract

An attempt was made in this study to analyze flavor compounds and investigate storage stability of essential oil from garlic distillation. Optimum ratio of solvent between pentane and dichloromethane to get essential oil from garlic distillation was 2 to 1. The yield of essential oil was 0.35%(w/w) in ground garlic(${\phi}\;0.8mm$) and 0.07%(w/w) in whole garlic. From garlic essential oil six components : dimethyl sulfide, diallyl sulfide, methyl-1-propenyl disulfide, diallyl disulfide, allyl methyl sulfide and diallyl trisulfide were identified with GC and GC/MS, and diallyl trisulfide, diallyl disulfide and allyl mothyl sulfide were found to be major volatile components. Quality deterioration of garlic essential oil hardly occurred during storage for 60 days, at $5^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$.

마늘에서 정유물을 증류하고 그 정유물의 휘발성 성분분석 및 저장안정성 시험을 실시하였다. 정유물을 포집하는데 사용한 pentane과 dichloromethane의 비는 2 : 1이었고, 정유물의 수율은 0.8 mm의 크기로 마쇄처리한 시료의 경우가 0.35%였고, 통마늘의 경우는 0.07%였다. 마늘 정유물에서 dimethyl sulfide, diallyl sulfide, methyl-1-propenyl disulfide, diallyl disulfide, allyl methyl sulfide, diallyl trisulfide 등의 6종류의 휘발성 물질이 동정되었고, diallyl trisulfide, diallyl disulfide, allyl methyl sulfide가 주요한 휘발성 성분이었다. 마늘 정유물을 $5^{\circ}C$ 및 $25^{\circ}C$에서 60일 동안 저장 중 품질 변화는 거의 일어나지 않았다.
