Volatile Flavor Components in Fennel Tea and Caraway Tea Using Seeds

This study was carried out to identify the flavor components in fennel tea and caraway tea using seeds. The flavor compounds were extracted by the simultaneous distillation and extraction method using a Likens and Nickerson's extraction apparatus. The concentrated extracts were identified by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Terpene hydrocarbons such as α-pinene, sabinene, camphene, myrcene and terpinene, and terpene alcohols such as estragole, 1,8-cineole, carveol and anethole were found to be the main flavor components in fennel tea. Large amounts of limonene (35.61%) and carvone (12.03%) were found in caraway tea. This suggests that these compounds play important roles in fennel tea and caraway tea using seeds.
