Abstract
  • Previously, it has not been possible to obtain a concentrated ripe Bartlett pear essence. From studies of Bartlett pear aroma characteristics, it was found that methyl and ethyl decadienoates are the components contributing to the characteristic ripe Bartlett pear aroma. It was also found that only perfume-like aroma products, lacking in typical Bartlett pear aroma, could be obtained in the early pear essence recovery trials. Thus, a laboratory scale fruit essence recovery unit was designed and built to study the difficulties in pear essence recovery. Water was first used to calibrate the unit, then, apple juice was applied as a testing model to establish the basic essence recovery effectiveness of the unit. It was found that the high heat provided by the reboiler, would drive the high-boiling, low-volatile pear aroma components upward to the fractionating column top where they could be recovered as overhead product. The high-boiling compounds were found in the reboiler discharge water in the low-heat tests. A good, strong and characteristic ripe Bartlett pear essence was obtained in the high-heat pear essence recovery test. A concept of separating low-boiling alcohols from high-boiling esters, to avoid the interference from low-boiling alcohols in the concentrating high-boiling esters. was substantiated through developing a two-stage essence recovery unit. Characteristic Bartlett pear essence of 100 fold was produced successfully in the two-stage test. Along with the organoleptic evaluation, the essence product was also analyzed by GC-MS and UV spectrometry to confirm the presence of "decadienoates" — characteristic Bartlett pear aroma components. This is the first time that a typical and good quality ripe Bartlett pear essence of 100 fold has been recovered.
