    Abstract

    Changes in the composition of volatile compounds during processing of cheese powders, made from Emmental and Danbo cheese were analysed by dynamic headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Samples comprised cheese, melted cheese slurry, the slurry heat treated using three different time and temperature combinations, and the spray-dried cheese powder. About 100 volatile compounds were identified. During melting of the cheese the level of some volatile compounds increased significantly; heat treatment mainly leads to a loss of compounds and spray drying leads to a substantial reduction of volatile compounds, with the exception of a range of aldehydes that increased. The final cheese powders could, however, be distinguished according to cheese type.
