Flavour release at the interfaces of stirred fruit yoghurt models

2006

Abstract Model matrices consisting of a pectin and a dairy gel were investigated to study the transfer of flavour compounds between the different phases of stirred fruit yoghurt. Using a full factorial experimental design, different parameters (storage temperature, initial flavour concentration in the pectin gel and fat content of the dairy gel) were studied. The kinetics of the migration of flavour compounds between the two gels were investigated using a novel SPME method, where a Carboxen/Polydimethylsiloxane fibre was directly inserted into the pectin gel. Flavour compounds were predominantly retained in the pectin gel and thus, the presence of fat in the dairy gel did not affect their t…
