Free amino acids (FAAs) and volatile components were analysed in commercial samples of yoghurt and Actimel® drink as well as laboratory‐made kefir. The lysine and cysteine were the principal amino acids and accounted for about 70% of the total FAAs in all the samples. However, the amino acid profiles in the different fermented milk products differed: on the whole values for most of the amino acids were observed to be significantly higher in the Actimel® samples. A total of 50 volatile components were identified. The largest number of volatiles were found in the kefir. Ethanol, 2,3‐ butanodione and 3‐hidroxybutan‐2‐one were the most prevalent volatile components, with ethanol significantly higher in the kefir samples.
