Abstract:

Molecular distillation (MD) purification the garlic oil extracted by supercritical carbon dioxide extraction (SCDE) was studied, followed by volatile composition analysis of the purified garlic oil using headspace solid-phase microwextraction coupled to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS). The optimal MD conditions were determined as follows: sample loading speed 1 drop/s; distillation temperature 60 ℃; and film wiping speed 250 r/min. Only 4 compounds were found in MD-purified garlic oil, namely, diallyl disulfide, diallyl trisulfide, 2-vinyl-1,3-dithiacyclohex-4-ene and 3-vinyl-1,2-dithiacyclohex-5-ene. From comparison of volatile composition between steam distillation-extracted and SCDE-extracted garlic oils, SCDE is a better method for garlic oil extraction. Moreover, after 30-day storage of steam distillation-extracted garlic oil, the contents of the efficient components in it decreased, resulting in quality deterioration.

Key words: supercritical fluid extraction, molecular distillation, garlic oil, headspace-solid phase microextraction coupled to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, volatile components
