Changes in the volatility of selected flavor compounds in the presence of nonvolatile food matrix components were studied using headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) combined with GC-MS quantification. Time-dependent adsorption profiles to the SPME fiber and the partition coefficients between different

Physicochemical properties (partition and diffusion coefficients) involved in the mobility and release of salt and aroma compounds in model cheeses were determined in this study. The values of NaCl water/product partition coefficients highlighted interactions between proteins and NaCl. However, these
