摘要：In this study, cows’ milk and aromatic cultures such as CH-1, YF-3331 and YC-350 used in production of yogurts. The volatile compounds in the samples were determined on the 1st, 7 th, 14th and 21st days of storage by using static headspace gas chromatographic method. During storage, the amount of individual volatile compounds varied significantly in yogurts depending on type of culture used. The volatile compounds acetaldehyde, acetone, ethanol, acetoin, 2-furanmethanol and ethyl phthalate were determined in all samples. On day 1, acetaldehyde (82 mg/kg) was the highest compound in yogurt made using culture CH-1 which followed by yoghurts with YC-350 (66 mg/kg) and YF-3331 (54 mg/kg). Even though the amounts of acetaldehyde and ethanol decreased at the end of storage, acetoin increased in all the samples. While the amount of acetone in yogurt made using culture CH-1 showed fluctuations during storage, its levels in yogurts with cultures YF-3331 and YC-350 steadily increased and decreased, respectively.
