Abstract
The present studies are primarily concerned with the cause of petoleum-like foreign odor accidentally evolved in canned foods which were sweetened with sodium cyclamate as an artificial sweetener. The following results were obtained.(1) The foreign odor was caused by addition of nitrite ion.(2) The entity of the odor was gas-chromatographically identified with cyclohexene.(3) The odor was not evolved in sealed glass ampoules which contained nitrate ion. Whereas, the odor emitted in cans containing nitrate ion, because nitrate ion is reduced to nitrite ion in metal containers.(4) The experimental results strongly suggested that packers must pay careful attention to the concentration of nitrate ion as well as that of nitrite ion in water to be used.
