Headspace Constituents of FreshJuglans nigraL. Peels

Abstract
The headspace of black walnut peels (Juglans nigra L.) was analyzed by means of GC, GC/FTIR/MS and GC-sniffing technique. The headspace was found to be rich in the monoterpenes α-pinene (39.5%), sabinene (34.7%) and β-pinene (6.3%). More than 20 minor constituents, mainly aromatic hydrocarbons, were also identified. An odor characterization of the headspace is also given.
