Abstract

 Dilution and concentration experiments as well as enantioselective analysis of optically active monoterpenes indicated (±)-linalool, (+)-α-phellandrene, (–)-limonene, myrcene, (–)-α-pinene, 3-methylbutanal and methylpropanal as the most potent odorants of black pepper. Additionally, 2-isopropyl-3-methoxypyrazine and 2,3-diethyl-5-methylpyrazine were detected as important odorants of a black pepper sample with a mouldy, musty off-flavour.
