SummaryA method is described for determining H2S, methanethiol and dimethyl sulphide in Cheddar-cheese headspace. Cheeses ranging in age from 2 to 12 months were analysed using a gas chromatograph equipped with a photometric detector. These cheeses were presented to a trained flavour panel for the assessment of quality and intensity of Cheddar cheese flavour.An attempt is made to correlate the concentration of sulphur compounds in the headspace with the average flavour scores. The results suggest that the flavour intensity of the cheese is related to the concentration of methanethiol in the headspace.

SummaryMultiple regression analysis has been used to relate contributions of individual flavour components to the flavour of Cheddar cheese. Equations have been derived that relate Cheddar flavour to the headspace concentrations of 2-pentanone, methanethiol and methanol. The concentrations of ethanol and H2S found in cheese headspace have been related to the flavour defects ‘fruity’ and ‘sulphide’ respectively

Flavour concentrates from mature New Zealand Cheddar cheese were prepared by steam distillation methods. Using 2:4-dinitrophenylhydrazine reagent the presence of carbonyl compounds in the distillate was established. By means of paper chromatography, and other methods, the following compounds were identified in the distillate: acetoin, diacetyl, acetaldehyde, acetone, 2-butanone, 2-pentanone, 2-heptanone, 2-nonanone and 2-undecanone, and their approximate concentrations in New Zealand Cheddar cheese were determined. The possible role of these compounds in the formation of Cheddar cheese flavour is discussed.The authors gratefully acknowledge the helpful advice and criticism of Dr H. R. Whitehead and Dr W. A. McGillivray, and the technical assistance of Mr P. L. McLaughlin.
