Abstract: The volatile composition of commercial and laboratory-prepared sesame oil and two sesame flavor samples was analyzed by headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Sesame flavor contained higher levels of volatile compounds such as pyrazines, furans, pyridines, ketones and phenols, which greatly contributed to the aroma of sesame oil. However, such compounds as 3,5-dimethyl-Phenol, 3-methyl-1, 2-cyclopentanedione, 2-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one, cyclooctane and 2-furfurylthiol were observed in sesame flavor but not in sesame oil. Thiazole and pyrrole were only detected in sesame oil but not in sesame flavor.

Key words: sesame oil, headspace solid-phase microextraction, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, volatile compounds
