Abstract

In this study, volatile flavor compounds in sesame oils were analyzed by using pure-and-trap method and a gas chromatography. 2-ethoxy-3-ethylpyrazine was used as an internal standard and retention index (Kovat's number) for the volatiles were determined through the use of a n-paraffin $(C_5-C_{25})$ standards. A total of 33 volatile compounds including 14 pyrazines, 7 thiazoles, 4 pyridines, 2 oxazoles and 6 others were identified in the sesame oils. By comparing the total yields of volatile flavor compounds, the pyrazines are the most abundant compounds all of the oil samples and considered as good contributor to characteristic flavor of sesame oil. The oil from the seeds roasted in the electric pan at $200^{\circ}C$ and $230^{\circ}C$ for 10 minutes generated 277.06 ppm, 264.81 ppm in pyrazine and 15.16 ppm, 13.19 ppm in thiazole, respectively. The sensory evaluation of oil samples was also investigated. The sesame oil obtained from the sesame seeds roasted at $200^{\circ}C$ for 10 minutes with electric pan showed good flavor scores and quality among the all of samples.

참깨를 170, 200, $230^{\circ}C$로 열풍순환식과 전기팬에서 볶아서 참유한 기름의 향기 성분을 GC와 GC-MS로 분석하여 동정 확인하고 관능 검사를 실시하였다. 총 33개의 향기성분이 확인 되어졌으며 pyrazine류 14종, thiazole류 7종, pyridine류 4종, oxazole류 2종 및 기타 6종 이였다. 전기팬에서 170, 200, $230^{\circ}C$에서 처리된 시료의 총 향기성분의 함량은 각각 145.29, 334.65, 313.04 ppm 이였고 열풍순환식에서는 각각 28.86, 81.20, 313.28 ppm이 였다. 그리고 개별향기 성분중에서는 pyrazine류의 함량비가 가장 높았다. 6개의 시료에 대한 관능 검사의 결과는 $200^{\circ}C$에서 배전식 방법으로 볶은 참깨로부터 제조된 참기름이 가장 바람직한 향기를 가진것으로 판단되어졌다. 이런 현상은 GC 분석의 결과와 일치하였다.
