AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to identify the key odor-active compounds responsible for the off-flavor in aged pasteurized yogurt (APY) using a sensory flavor analysis technique.
  • Different extraction methods were compared, revealing that dynamic headspace sampling (DHS) was the most effective for analyzing volatile compounds.
  • A total of 17 odor-active compounds were identified, with 2-heptanone and hexanal being the primary contributors to the off-flavor, suggesting these compounds could serve as indicators of yogurt freshness.

Article Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the key odor-active compounds contributing to the off-flavor of aged pasteurized yogurt (APY) using sensory-directed flavor analysis. Additionally, different extraction methods were compared to determine their effects on the volatile compounds, including dynamic headspace sampling (DHS), solid-phase microextraction, and stir bar sorptive extraction, and DHS was found to be suitable for this study. The results showed that comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography-olfactometry-mass spectrometry analysis (GC × GC-O-MS) had more advantages in separating and identifying the volatile compounds than the traditional GC-O-MS. A total of 17 odor-active compounds were determined in the fresh pasteurized yogurt and APY samples by DHS coupled with GC × GC-O-MS. The dynamic headspace dilution analysis demonstrated that 2-heptanone and hexanal were the most vital components in APY with the highest flavor dilution factor. Furthermore, the spiking and omission experimental results revealed that the odor-active compounds, such as 2-heptanone, butanoic acid, pentanoic acid, hexanal, and ()-2-heptenal, were the key odor-active off-flavor contributors in APY. Therefore, these compounds could be used as potential indicators to determine the freshness of pasteurized yogurt.

The aim of this study was to obtain extracts of anthocyanin pigments from red and purple-fleshed potato juices characterized by stable color. For this purpose, potato juices were pasteurized at different temperatures or fruit and vegetable concentrates were added to them. Color stability tests of the obtained pigments were carried out in model pH and temperature conditions and after adding to natural yogurt.

Yogurt Production.

Yogurt is a widely consumed dairy product that is obtained through the fermentation of lactic acid bacteria. During fermentation, these bacteria produce lactic acid, which lowers the pH and causes the coagulation of milk proteins. Metabolites of lactic acid bacteria, such as carbonyl compounds, nonvolatile or volatile acids, and exopolysaccharides, significantly affect the quality of yogurt.

The potential health risk of consuming dairy products made from milk processed in an artisanal manner was investigated due to possible contamination with Ptaquiloside (PTA), a carcinogenic compound found in the food chain of the bracken fern. The study aimed to assess the occurrence and stability of PTA across various processing stages, including pasteurization, cheese production, and yogurt production. Results indicated that pasteurization effectively converted all PTA to Pterosin (PTB), with PTB levels decreasing during refrigerated storage for up to two weeks.
