카레가루 원료로 쓰이면서 독특한 풍미를 내는 육두구(nutmeg), 쿠민(cumin), 카다몬(cardamon), 심황뿌리가루(turmeric), 고수(coriander), 정향(clove), 올스파이스(allspice), 카시아(cassia), 회향(fennel), 셀러리시드(celery seed), 검정후추(black pepper)등 향신료 11종을 상압 수증기 증류하여 얻은 유출액으로부터 Diethyl ether: n-Pentane(2 : 1, v/v)으로 향미성분을 추출한 후, capillary GC와 GC/MS를 이용하여 그 주요 성분들을 동정하였다. 육두구는 ${alpha}-pinene(11.06%)$, ${eta}-pinene(11.17%)$, myristicin(19.98%), 쿠민은 cuminaldehyde(37.68%), 카다몬은 ${alpha)-terpineol(47.33%)$, 1, 8-cineol(20.56%), 고수는 linalool(61.72%), 정향은 eugenol(63.63%), eugenol acetate(20.59%), 올스파이스는 eugenol(80.12%), methyl eugenol(10.85%), 카시아는 cinnamaldehyde(82.29%), 회향은 anethole(79.92%) 등이 주성분이었다.
The volatile components of nutmeg, cumin, cardamon, turmeric, coriander, clove, allspice, cassia, fennel, celery seed and black pepper, having a characteristic spicy aroma and being used as an ingradient of curry powder, were investigated. After steam distillation followed by extraction with diethyl ether: n-pentane(2:1, v/v) mixture, the volatile components were identified by capillary GC and GC/MS. As a result, following major compounds were identified. ${alpha}-pinene(11.06%)$, ${eta}-pinene(11.17%)$ and myristicin(19.98%) in nutmeg, cuminaldehyde(37.68%) in cumin, ${alpha}-terpineol(47.33%)$ and 1, 8-cineol(20.56%) in cardamon, linalool(61.72%) in coriander, eugenol(63.63%) and eugenol acetate(20.59%) in clove, eugenol(80.12%) and methyl eugenol(10.85%) in allspice, cinnamaldehyde(82.29%) in cassia, anethole(79.92%) in fennel.
