Production of volatile compounds in model milk and cheese media by eight strains of Geotrichum candidum Link
SummaryEight strains of Geotrichum candidum isolated from cheese were compared for aroma production. Twenty-four components, including alcohols, methyl ketones, fatty acids and esters, were identified by gas–liquid chromatography and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry of the volatile compounds produced by G. candidum cultures. Strains could be differentiated by their ability to produce dimethyldisulphide, phenol, phenylethanol and methyl ketones.
Production of volatile compounds in liquid cultures by six strains of coryneform bacteria
The aromatic profiles of four strains of Brevibacterium linens, one strain of Brevibacterium sp. and one strain of Microbacterium sp. were determined with some pure cultures of these microorganisms in standard trypcase soy liquid medium, which enabled four of these six strains to produce flavour compounds of ripened cheese. Thirty-two flavour compounds were identified by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. The identified flavour compounds included the following: fatty acids, alcohols, methylketones, sulphur compounds, aromatic compounds and a pyrazine. Some important differences were found among the six strains studied. The four strains of B. linens had similar flavour profiles. Their…
Comparison of Volatile Flavor Compounds Produced by Ten Strains of Penicillium camemberti Thom
Abstract Volatile compounds produced by Penicillium camemberti Thom in a milk culture medium were identified using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. Volatile compounds were mainly methyl ketones and their corresponding secondary alcohols, fatty acids, and the alcohols 3-methylbutanol, 2-methylpropanol, 3-octanol, and 1-octen-3-ol. Comparison of 10 strains of P. camemberti Thom resulted in their being grouped into 6 aromatic strain groups, This grouping seems to be useful for the selection of strains for cheese making.
