HPLC Analysis of Methyl Trans-cinnamate Contents in Tricholoma matsutake Mushroom in Korea

摘要

The contents of methyl trans-cinnamate, a significant and major aromatic compound in Tricholoma matsutake (pine mushroom), were determined by HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography). Mushroom samples collected from five sites in Korea were extra cted with methanol by ulttasonication. The contents of methyl trafts-cinnamate in the pileus and stalk of pine mushroom ranged from 84.8 to 995.7 μg/g and from 4.5 to 45.2 μg/g, respectively. The average contents of methyl frans-cinnamate in the pileus and stalk of pine mushroom from the five sites were 559.1 μg/g and 35.7 μg/g, respectively. From the results of this study, we could conclude that the contents of methyl trans-cinnamate varied by different parts (pileus and stalk) and collecting sites . The amounts of methyl trans-cinnamate from fresh T. matsutake were higher than those of dried T. matsutake. Pileus of pine mushroom appeared to contain more methyl trans-cinnamate than did stalk. Additionally, as pileus of pine mushroom developed, the aroma content increased as well.
