Evaluation of Volatile Compounds during the Fermentation Process of Yogurts by Streptococcus thermophilus Based on Odor Activity Value and Heat Map Analysis

Figure 1

Heat map plots clusters of volatile compounds in yogurt fermented by S. thermophilus at different time points based on the content. Green colors indicate that volatile compound levels were less than the mean levels during yogurt fermentation, while red colors indicate that volatile compound levels were higher than the mean levels.
