In vivo aroma release depends on product characteristics

subject

description

Changing cheese composition (more or less fat) and texture (soft to firm) modifies in vivo release of aroma compounds as a function of their hydrophobicity. An increase in cheese firmness induced an increase in the total amount of aroma released. A higher fat content led to a lower amount of release of the more hydrophobic compound.
