Abstract

An essential oil from dried "wakame" (Undaria pinnatifida), prepared by a simultaneous distillation extraction method, was analyzed by GC-MS, indicating the presence of one major component of volatiles. The volatile component was identified as (6Z,9Z,12Z,15Z,18Z)-1,6,9,12,15,18-henicosahexaene by comparison with the GC-MS and NMR spectra of synthetic. The henicosahexaene showed a subtly marine aroma. (6Z,9Z,12Z,15Z)-1,6,9,12,15-Henicosapentaene was also detected as a minor polyene in the essential oils. It was suggested that these polyenes contribute to the characteristic aroma of the dried wakame.

Keywords: brown alga; essential oil; marine aroma; polyene; volatile.
