Abstract: The volatile components of fennel bean were extracted by head space solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and analyzed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The optimum operating conditions for SPME were determined as following: head space adsorption at 55 ℃ for 60 min using a 75 μm Carboxen/PDMS fiber. A total of 38 compounds were identified, representing 86.87% of the total peak area and consisted of 15 hydrocarbons, 13 aldehydes and ketones, 3 alcohols, 3 phenols, 3 ethers and 4 other compounds. The prevailing compounds were 1-methoxy-4-(1-propenyl) benzene (40.75%), nonanal (4.16%), cis-anethole (3.77%), limonene (3.48%), and estragole (2.9%).

Key words: fennel bean, head space solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), volatiles
