Seven Circassian cheeses were provided by local producers. Aroma compounds were extracted by using solid-phase microextraction procedure and determined by gas chromatography-olfactometry system. Water-soluble, trichloroacetic acid-soluble and phosphotungstic acid-soluble nitrogen fractions ranged between 2.30-29.35%, 2.48-9.96% and 3.33-6.26%, respectively. Diacetyl, butyric acid, 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline, 1-octen-3-one and methional were identified at high intensities in cheeses. In addition, 'cooked', 'whey', 'creamy' and 'fermented' were defined as characteristic flavour terms for Circassian cheeses.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCircassian cheeseAromaSensory propertiesArticle64451752510.1111/j.1471-0307.2011.00703.xQ3WOS:0002963932000092-s2.0-80054033184Q1
