Characterization of volatile compounds in mozzarella cheeses made from bovine and buffalo milk by different aroma extraction and identification methods by Zhijie Yang, Jiao Wang, Bei Wang, Yanping Cao

“…Compared with the 3 aroma extract techniques (SPME, SPME-Arrow and headspace), SPME-Arrow can increase the adsorption capacity of volatile compounds in samples, but required the high separation and high sensitivity detection equipment for more efficient identification of volatile compounds. The combination of the GC×GC-O-TOF-MS, GC-MS, and GC-IMS had obtained a comprehensive aroma profile of mozzarella cheese, which laid a theoretical foundation for the construction of aroma fingerprints of mozzarella cheeses from different milk sources, and provided a basis for the development and application of new dairy products.…”
