Natural cheese flavor was evaluated using the electronic
nose FF-l and Asmell2. To evaluate the flavor strength of cheeses, a smell
index was used. The smell index of cheese head space vapor was correlated with
sensory evaluation. To evaluate the quality of some cheese flavors, Asmell2
software was used in "User Mode". Standard smell compounds were
selected from typical cheese-fravored components. We concluded that Asmell2
analysis makes it possible to objectively distinguish various cheese flavors.
