Identification of the key Aroma Components in Clove Bud Essential Oil using OVA and GC-O-MS
In order to characterize the key aroma components of clove bud oil,aroma activity value(OAV)and gas chromatography-odor-mass spectrometry(GC-O-MS)were used in this study.GC-O-MS analysis identified 59 volatile components in clove bud oil.7 aroma active ingredients,including ethyl 2-methylbutyrate,2-nonone,linalool,methyl salicylate,p-allylphenol,ethyl cinnamate and eugenol,were determined by odor intensity calculation.Nine aroma components,linalool,ethyl 2-methylbutyrate,tholyl acetate,methyl salicylate,ethyl cinnamate,eugenol,p-allylphenol,α-humulene and caryophyllene,were identified by OAV calculation.Eugenol,ethyl 2-methylbutyrate,linalool,methyl salicylate,p-allylphenol and ethyl cinnamate were identified as lilac flower buds by two analytical methods Key aroma component of oil.
