The content of S-alk(en)ylcysteine sulfoxides, important nonvolatile flavor precursors, was determined in 15 different Allium species by means of gas chromatography. The method employed is based on derivatization of S-alk(en)ylcysteine sulfoxides with ethyl chloroformate followed by their reduction with sodium iodide. The total content of S-alk(en)ylcysteine sulfoxides varied considerably in the wide range between 0.02 and 1.3% fresh weight. Not only the total content but also relative proportions of individual derivatives varied to a great extent. A novel S-alkylcysteine derivative, S-ethylcysteine sulfoxide (ethiin), not previously reported to occur in Allium species, was found in most of the samples examined in trace amounts. None of the other S-alk(en)ylcysteine sulfoxides, for example, isopropyl, (Z)-1-propenyl, butyl, or pentyl, were detected in any of the samples analyzed, limiting possible levels of each of these components to </=1 ppm in fresh weight.
采用气相色谱法测定了15种不同葱属植物中重要的非挥发性风味前体物质S-烷(烯)基半胱氨酸亚砜的含量。所采用的方法基于用氯甲酸乙酯对S-烷(烯)基半胱氨酸亚砜进行衍生化,然后用碘化钠进行还原。S-烷(烯)基半胱氨酸亚砜的总含量在0.02%至1.3%鲜重的宽范围内有很大差异。不仅总含量,而且各个衍生物的相对比例也有很大变化。在大多数检测样品中发现了一种新型的S-烷基半胱氨酸衍生物——S-乙基半胱氨酸亚砜(乙硫醚),此前未报道其在葱属植物中存在,且含量微量。在分析的任何样品中均未检测到其他S-烷(烯)基半胱氨酸亚砜,如异丙基、(Z)-1-丙烯基、丁基或戊基,这将这些成分在鲜重中的可能含量限制在≤1 ppm。
