Abstract:

The flavor components in different ripening periods (30, 60 d and 90 d) in yak s milk soft cheese were extracted by solid phase micro-extraction (SPME) and identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. A total of 45 compounds were detected and relative contents of these compounds were determined by peak area normalization method. The conditions of SPME were optimized to be 75μm CAR/PDMS and temperature of 50 ℃. The major volatile flavor compounds in yak s milk soft cheese were acids, alcohols and ketones. Esters and aldehydes were also detected as the volatile flavor components. Acidic compounds were the major flavor components of yak s milk soft cheese, among which, acetic acid, butyric acid, caproic acid and 2-heptanone were the most predominant compounds.

Key words: yak s milk soft cheese, flavor component, solid phase micro-extraction (SPME), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)
