Application


  • Formation of Key Aroma Compounds During 30 Weeks of Ripening in Gouda-Type Cheese Produced from Pasteurized and Raw Milk.: The study investigates the formation of key aroma compounds, including ethyl hexanoate, during the ripening of Gouda-type cheese. The results provide insights into the ripening process and its impact on cheese flavor development (Duensing et al., 2024).

Aroma-loaded nanoparticles (d < 300 nm) were prepared by cross-linking denatured whey protein through pH-cycling. The effect of nanoparticulation conditions and aroma concentration on the physicochemical characteristics of nanoparticles and aroma release profile was studied.
