An aroma extract obtained from matcha by diethyl ether extraction reproduced its characteristic aroma. However, the aroma dissipated after concentration with a Snyder column at 45℃, indicating that the key odorants of matcha are as volatile as diethyl ether. This study characterized key low-boiling-point odorants in matcha by gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) and GC-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) using solid-phase microextraction (SPME). Five odorants were identified by GC-O: methanethiol, dimethyl sulfide (DMS), 2-methylpropanal (2-MP), 3-methylbutanal (3-MB), and 2-methylbutanal (2-MB). The concentrations of these key odorants (except methanethiol) were determined by GC-MS using stable isotopes: DMS (2.92-17.5 mg・/kg, 2-MP (0.06-11.1 mg・/kg), 3-MB (0.44-5.26 mg・/kg), 2-MB (0.97-7.08 mg・/kg). These key odorants would be affected by heating during manufacturing.
