Title: GC Analysis and Odor Profiles of Four New Indian Genotypes of<i>Piper nigrum</i>L.
Abstract: ABSTRACT Oils which were obtained from four new Indian genotypes of black pepper (Panniyur-1, Panniyur-2, Panniyur-3 and Culture-239) were analyzed by a combination of GC/MS and Kovats indices on a nonpolar capillary column. The oils from the three Panniyur genotypes contained α-pinene (5.07–6.18%), sabinene (8.50–17.16%), β-pinene (9.16–11.08%), myrcene (2.20–2.30%), limonene (21.06–22.71%), p-cymene (0.0–0.18%), β-caryophyllene (21.59–27.70%) and oxygenated constituents (3.39–5.68%). The oil from Culture-239 contained α-pinene (5.32%), sabinene (1.94%), β-pinene (6.40%), myrcene (8.40%), p-cymene (9.70%), limonene (16.74%), β-caryophyllene (21.19%) and oxygenated constituents (4.41%). A few new sesquiterpenes previously not characterized in black pepper oil were also tentatively identified. The odors of the four oils were ranked and that of Panniyur-1 was found to be inferior to those of the other three oils. The odor profile clearly revealed that Panniyur-1 had less of a fresh green, peppery, spicy note than either Panniyur-2 or Panniyur-3. Culture-239 was found to possess a more refreshing piney, green pepper-like odor than Panniyur-1; however, it also possessed a citrus/lemon-like aroma note.
