“…bulgaricus strains were shown to be stably maintained in all combinations (10 8 e10 9 cfu/mL for each species at the end of yoghurt fermentation), and the acetaldehyde, ethanol, acetone, diacetyl and MEK contents of the yogurts were reported to be between 13.44 and 25.44 mg/L, 1.49e7.02 mg/L, 0.28e0.54 mg/L, 0.43e1.79 mg/L, and 0.04e0.11 mg/L, respectively. Acetaldehyde is considered to be the most important compound for the typical yogurt flavor (Gardini, Lanciotti, Guerzoni, & Torriani, 1999), and generally found between 17 and 41 mg/L in yoghurts (Abrahamsen, Svensen, & Tufto, 1978;Tamime & Deeth, 1980). Çelik (2007) indicated that 11 among 20 different yogurt combinations showed acetaldehyde production over 20 mg/L and the combination cTY63-2/b22 had the highest acetaldehyde content (25.444 mg/L).…”
