Abstract

Volatile compound profiles of probiotic yogurt samples prepared using 8 different prebiotic combinations were analyzed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS) with solid phase micro extraction during 28 days of storage. A total of 40 volatile compounds were identified in yogurt samples during storage consisting of 2 aldehydes, 6 ketones, 4 alcohols, 6 acids, 5 esters, 3 terpenes, 3 aromatic hydrocarbons, and 12 aliphatic hydro-carbons. Acetaldehyde, diacetyl, acetoin, 2-heptanone, ethanol, isoamyl alcohol, acetic acid, caproic acid, caprilic acid, and capric acid were the major volatile compounds in all probiotic yogurt samples.
