Abstract:
Changes in the composition of volatile compounds of the control and four different types of herby cheeses (Control, cheese with no added herbs; CH, cheese containing Helis (Ferule sp.); CK, cheese containing Kekik (Thymus sp.); CS, cheese containing Sirmo (Allium sp.) and CM, cheese containing Mendo (Anhriscus sp.)) were investigated during 28 days of storage at 4 degrees C. A total of 60 compounds were tentatively identified during the storage period, including aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, acids, esters, terpenes, aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, furans and other compounds.
