An¨¢lisis de compuestos vol¨¢tiles en cilantro (Coriandrum sativum L.) %A Salvador Gonz¨¢lez-Palomares %A Luis Humberto Rivera-Cambero %A T¨¢bata Rosales-Reyes %J Acta Universitaria %D 2012 %I %X In the present study, volatile compounds were recovered from the fresh leaves and stems ofcilantro (Coriandrum sativum L.) by two methods: Liquid-Solid Extraction (LSE) and SimultaneousDistillation-Extraction (SDE). The identification and quantification was done byGas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Fourteen compounds were characterizedby LSE and GC-MS; whereas by SDE and GC-MS, they were twenty three compounds.The statistical analysis revealed significant quantitative differences (p ¡Ü 0,05) between theanalyzed techniques (LSE and SDE). In this work, the Simultaneous Distillation-Extractionshowed the greater identification and total concentration of volatile compounds. Aldehydes,monoterpenes, and alcohols comprised 78% of the volatile found for two methods, the restwere hydrocarbons. (E)-2-decenal was the most abundant compound in cilantro in bothextraction techniques.
