Abstract:

The components of the exocarp and flesh (in fresh and dried forms) of Liangping pomelo and Zanthoxylum
schinifolium fruits were extracted using ultrasonic-assisted ether extraction method and analyzed by gas chromatographymass
spectrometry (GC-MS) combined with the retention indices (RI). The results showed that there were 6 amide
compounds detected in Zanthoxylum schinifolium. Amide compounds were identified in none of the four samples
of Liangping pomelo Through qualitative analysis of the compounds and comparison with relevant literature
data, the numb-taste components of Liangping pomelo were not the amide compounds and different from those of
Zanthoxylum schinifolium.

Key words: Liangpin pomelo, Zanthoxylum schinifolium, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), retention indices
