with 200 ml of purified water. The elute was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated at 39.5oC under atmospheric pressure to obtain the aroma concentrate (essential oil). The extract was additionally concentrated with a nitrogen stream to 500 µl just before injection into the gas chromatograph and the components were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and GC-Olfactometry. Gas Chromatography (GC) A Hewlett-Packard (HP) 5890 Series II gas chromatograph equipped with a flame-ionization detector (FID) was employed. Helium was used as the carrier gas at a flow rate of 1 ml/min with a split ratio of 30:1. The column was 60 m x 0.25 mm i.d., 0.25 µm film thickness coated with DB-WAX (J & W Scientific). The oven temperature was held at 60oC for 4 min and then increased to 200oC at a rate of 2oC/min. The injector and detector temperatures were set at 200oC and 220oC, respectively. …show more content…

The GC conditions were the same as those used for the GC analysis. Electron impact (EI) spectra were recorded, the temperature of the ion source being 220oC, and mass spectra were scanned at 70 eV in an m/z range from 30 to 400 mass
