Abstract
Fractionation of the volatile concentrate obtained from steam-distillate of rice bran and organoleptic tests of each fraction were carried out. The neutral fraction gave a much higher yield than others and was assumed to be indispensable for the reproduction of rice bran odor. The acidic fraction methylated with diazomethane and the phenolic fraction were analyzed by glass capillary gas chromatography to identify 17 carboxylic acids and 7 phenols. 4-Vinylguaiacol and 4-vinylphenol identified in the steam volatile concentrate were considered to be produced from ferulic and p-coumaric acids during steam-distillation. 4-Vinylphenol was the main component in the steam volatile concentrate of rice bran, having a characteristic unpleasant odor.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
