Abstract:

The volatile components of tangerine peel were extracted by either head-space solid-phase micro-extraction
(HS-SPME) or simultaneous distillation extraction (SDE) and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS).
Eighty-nine volatile constituents were identified, including 44 alkenes, 10 alcohols, 10 aldehydes, 8 phenols, 7 esters,
4 ketones and 6 other components. Thirty-four components were identified by both extraction methods. D-Limonene,
γ-terpinene, 2-thujene, α-farnesene, p-cymene and α-pinene made greater contributions to the odor characteristics of
tangerine peel.

Key words: tangerine peel, volatile components, head-space solid-phase micro-extraction (HS-SPME), simultaneous distillation extraction (SDE), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)
