Objectives of the Course
582/5000 Although aroma compounds are one of the important quality parameters affecting the quality and consumer preference in foods, the substances classified as aroma-active in these compounds determine the character of the food it contains. The success of characterization of aroma-active compounds in foods mainly depends on the determination of aroma-active compounds by olfactometric methods. Considering all these, this course aims to explain in detail the olfactometric methods used in the determination of aroma-active compounds in foods.
