Comparison of Volatile Compounds in Pepper (Piper nigrum L.) by Simultaneous Distillation Extraction (SDE) and GC-MS

In this study, the volatile compounds of pepper (Piper Nigrum L.) were extracted and analyzed by simultaneous distillation-extraction (SDE) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The differences in volatile compounds were observed by GC-MS data sets. Results showed vinyl compounds were the most dominant volatiles in pepper by simultaneous distillation-extraction (SDE) and GC-MS, and 22 volatile compounds in the white pepper and black pepper were the same.
