Volatile compounds of Mustard Leaf (Brassica juncea) Kimchi and their changes during fermentation

摘要

Fourteen volatile compounds isolated by distillation under reduced pressure from Mustard Leaf(Brassica juncea) Kimchi were identified by the GC/FID and GC/MSD. They were composed of 63 percent of hydrocarbons and acid and 30 percent of isothiocyantes and their related components in relative amount; Volatile isothiocyanates and their related components such as 2-phenylethyl isothiocyanate, benzothiazole, 2-methyl benzothiazole and 2-(3H)-benzothiazolone, which are reported to be responsible for the pungent flavor of mustard products, were found in Mustard Leaf Kimchi. These volatile components were remarkably decreased during the fermenation of Mustard Leaf Kimchi.
