십자화과 식물인 무(Raphanus sativus L.)의 어린싹(무순)이 독특한 향과 맛으로 소비가 증가하고 있는바 그 향기성분을 SDE(simultaneous steam djstillation/extraction) 법과 P&T(purge and cryogenic trapping)법으로 추출하여 비교, 분석하였다. 향기성분 포집시 SDE법에서는 diethyl ether 및 diethyl ether-pentane mixture(2:1, v/v)를 용매로 사용하고 P&T법에서는 diethyl ether를 사용하였다. GC와 GC-MS를 사용하여 동정한 결과 diethyl ether로 추출한 SDE법에서는 함황화합물(19종, 76.6%)이 주성분이었고, diethyl ether-pentane mixture로 추출한 경우 함황화합물(15종, 44.0%)과 탄화수소류(23종. 23.8%)가 주성분이었으며, P&T법으로 추출할 경우는 탄화수소류(25종, 84.1%)가 주성분이었다. 또한 신선한 무순의 주 향기성분은 hydrocarbon류인 n-heptane, methyl pentane이었으며, 익은 무순의 주 향기성분은sulfur compound에 속하며 무의 주성분이기도 한 4-methylthio-3-butenyl isothiocyanate, methyl mercaptane. 2.3-dimethyl disulfide 등이었다. SDE법보다 P&T법에 의해 추출할 경우 향기성분의 종류와 상대적인 양은 적어 분리능은 떨어지는 편이나 저분자 휘발성 물질은 오히려 더 많이 검출되어 추출방법에 따라 포집되는 향기성분의 종류와 양에 차이가 있었다.

The consumption of radish(Rhaphanus sativus L.) sprout, which is Cruciferae family, is increasing because of its pungent flavor and taste. Its volatile components were analyzed by SDE (simultaneous steam distillation & extraction) method and P&T(purge & cryogenic trapping) method. As a solvent, diethyl ether and diethyl ether : pentane mixture(2:1, v/v) were used in SDE method, and diethyl ether in P&T method. Analyzing by GC and GC-MS, the major component was sulfur compounds(19 species, peak area 76.6%) with diethyl ether, sulfur compounds(15, 44.0%) and hydrocarbons(23, 23.8%) with diethyl ether-pentane mixture in SDE method. Also, hydrocarbons(25, 84.1%) was major component in P&T method. The major volatile component of fresh radish sprout were n-heptane, methyl pentane and that of boiled radish sprout were 4-methylthio-3-butenyl isothiocyanate, methyl mercaptane, 2, 3-dimethyl disulfide. Low molecular volatile components were detected more by P&T method, but types and relative quantities of volatile components were measured less comparing to SDE method.
