참기름의 품질을 고소한 냄새, 탄 냄새, 전체적 인 품질 만족도의 세 항목으로 관능 평가하고 상온에서 휘발성 성분을 포집하여 정량 분석하였다 그리고 세 항목의 관능특성 변화에 가장 밀접한 휘발성 성분을 파악하고자 단계적 분별 분석을 실시하였으며 선정된 5개 peaks의 중요도를 정준 분별 분석, 분별 분석 그리고 주성분 분석으로 검토하였다. 5개 peaks 중에서도 가장 중요한 휘발성 성분은 2,5-dimethylpyrazine과 2-methylpyrazine이었으며 각각 고소한 냄새 및 탄 냄새의 척도로 적용할 수 있었다 관능적으로 좋은 품질의 참기름은 2,5-dimethylpyrazine과 2-methylpyrazine의 함량이 각각 $35.82{sim}4.43$ppm,;28.90{sim}6.35ppm$인 것으로 밝혀졌다.
Thirty-nine samples of roasted sesame seed oils were sensorially evaluated in terms of nutty odor, burnt odor and overall desirability, and their volatile compounds quantitatively analysed using direct sampling capillary GLC. Five volatile compounds were appeared to be significant for the sensory Properties of sesame oils through the multivariate analytical techniques such as stepwise discriminant analysis. canonical discriminant analysis, discriminant analysis and principal component analysis. The most important compounds were 2,5-dimethylpyrazine and 2-methylpyrazine which could be effectively used as chemical indicators related to nutty and burnt odor of sesame oils, respectively. The sesame oils which have represented a good grade of overall desirability have been always kept $35.82{sim}4.43$ ppm of 2,5-dimethylpyrazine and also $28.90{sim}6.35$ ppm of 2-methylpyrazine.
