Abstract:

Volatile components in 12 cultivars of Chinese cabbages were continually analyzed by head space-solid phase microextration and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for 2 years. The results showed that more than 170 compounds of 14 varieties are found in the samples, which include nitrile, esters, aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, hydrocarbons and heterocycles etc. Furthermore, there are 50 flavor compounds, and 2-cyclohexen-1-ol, 2-hexenal, 3-hexen-1-ol (Z/E), benzene (2- isothiocyanatoethyl) and benzenepropanenitrile are primarily identified as the unique characteristic components in Chinese cabbages.

Key words: Chinese cabbage, volatile components, GC-MS
