Abstract:
      In this study, essential oils of pomelo peels suitable for the production of fragranced specialty paper were extracted by steam distillation from six representative pomelo varieties, and a systematic analysis was conducted on their volatile components, key aroma compounds, and pyrolysis behavior. The results showed that 52 volatile components of the essential oils of pomelo peels were identified, with monoterpenes being the most abundant (22.5%~92.8%). The sensory evaluation of essential oil processed cigarettes indicated that fruity and sweet aromas were most prominent of essential oil of Liangping pomelo peel. The relative odor activity value (ROAV) analysis identified that nootkatone (ROAV=100) and D-limonene (ROAV=2.175) were the key aroma compounds of essential oil of Liangping pomelo peel, whereas the essential oils of Fengdu red pomelo peel and Long’an pomelo peel showed poor aroma quality due to high levels of oxidized limonene (7.4%~11.9%) and the absence of nootkatone. In addition, the pyrolysis of essential oil of Liangping pomelo peel was more complete (residue rate of 11.7%) and released characteristic flavor compounds derived from nootkatone, while the pyrolysis residue rate of essential oil of Fengdu red pomelo peel reached 65.7%. The suitable ratio of D-limonene to nootkatone (26.10) was key to the superior flavor quality of essential oil of Liangping pomelo peel.
