Zusammenfassung

Die Aromaextrakt-Verdünnungs-analyse der flüchtigen Verbindungen aus Lindenhonig ergab 21 Geruchsstoffe mit hohen FD-Faktoren; 18 davon wurden identifiziert: l-Hexen-3-on, 2-Acetyl-1 -pyrrolin, Dimethyltrisulfid, Methional, Phenylacetaldehyd, 2-Phenylethanol, Linalool, p-Kresol, 3,9-Epoxy-1 p-menthen, 4-Methylacetophenon, 3,9-Epoxy-1,4(8)p-menthadien (Lindenether), 1,3 -p-Menthadi-en-7-al,p-Anisaldehyd, 4-Vinylguajacol, (E)-β-Da-mascenon, Eugenol, Vanillin undcis-Rosenoxid. Lindenether undcis-Rosenoxid, die auch in einem Extrakt von Lindenblüten (Tilla cordata) vorkamen, fehlten in Honigen anderer botanischer Herkunft. Diese beiden Aromastoffe und das geruchlosetrans-Limonen-1,2-diol werden als Indikatoren für Linden honig vorgeschlagen. Die Geruchsschwellen (in Luft) der 18 Aromastoffe wurden bestimmt.

Summary

Aroma extract dilution analysis of linden honey volatiles resulted in 21 odour compounds having high factors of dilution (FD); 18 of these compounds were identified as 1-hexen-3-one, 2-acetyl-1 -pyrroline, dimethyl trisulphide, methional, phenylacetaldehyde, 2-phenylethanol, linalool, p-cresol, 3,9-epoxy-lpmenthene, 4-methylacetophenone, 3,9-epoxy-1,4(8)-p-menthadiene (linden ether), 1,3 p-menthadien-7-al, p-anisaldehyde, 4vinylguaiacol, (E)-p-damascenone, eugenol, vanillin andcis-rose oxide. Linden ether andcis-rose oxide, which were also found in an extract obtained from the blossoms of the lime tree (Tifa cordata), were absent in honeys of other botanical origin. These two odourants and the odourlesstrans-limonene-1,2-diol are proposed as indicators for linden honey. The odour thresholds (in air) of the 18 aroma compounds are reported.
