for the Pec and Gel ones. GC analyses were carried out to evaluate
the effect of the drying step on the loss of the specific volatiles and
in Table 5 the change of concentration of selected volatile compounds
of differently formulated candies added with NIS (0.15%)
after the drying step (in respect to the corresponding product just
after aroma addition) are reported. The relative loss varied depending
on the aroma compound, candy formulation and related gelling
agent, thus drying conditions.
