This research was carried out to evaluate the appropriate levels of substitution of powdered cow milk with soy milk and cornstarch needed to produce yoghurt, evaluating its quality and potential for acceptance. Powdered cow milk was substituted with soymilk and cornstarch up to 30% to produce yogurt and market sample yogurt was used as control. Each composite blend milk samples was homogenized, pasteurized at 75°C for 5 min, cooled and inoculated with a mixed freeze-dried starter culture containing strains of Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus at 45°C, fermented for 6 h and cooled to 4˚C. The proximate, chemical, microbial, functional and sensory evaluation of the composite yogurt samples was determined. The yogurt samples were coded ACS-1 to ACS-13 where ACS-13 represent control. The result of the proximate analysis showed that moisture content ranged from 82.04 – 88.71%, protein ranged 2.05 – 6.48%,  fat ranged from 2.14 – 3.62%,  carbohydrate ranged from 4.30 – 9.91% and ash content ranged from 0.53 – 1.48%. The pH ranged from 3.73 – 4.82. For microbial evaluation, the total viable bacteria count ranged from 1.90x107 – 11.60x107, total coliform count ranged from 0.50x107 – 3.90x107. For chemical and functional evaluation, the total solids ranged from 11.28 – 16.96%, titratable acidity ranged from 0.30 – 1.80%, syneresis ranged from 0.00 – 28.33%, water absorption capacity ranged from 0.00 – 75.53% and apparent viscosity ranged from 1337- 4863 cP. For sensory evaluation, yogurt produced with 100% powdered milk (ACS-1) was the most preferred while yogurt sample produced with 50% powdered milk, 30% cornstarch and 20% soy milk (ACS-10) was the least preferred among other yogurt samples. This study revealed the mix ratios of powdered cow milk, soy milk and cornstarch that were acceptable in accordance with yogurt standard and the extent the quality of yogurt was generally accepted with the use of processing adjuncts (soymilk and cornstarch).

The traditional yogurt starter, i.e. Staphylococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus, has always been used to bring about the lactic acid fermentation during manufacture of concentrated yogurt known in Egypt as “Labneh”. Different combinations of some strains of Enterococcus faecalis, isolated from Laban Rayeb (a type of fermented milk), in combination with a certain strain of Lactobacillus bulgaricus were used to produce a Labneh-like product. Chemical, microbiological and organoleptic properties of the Labneh-like product were assessed and compared to the characteristics of Labneh processed traditionally by two different dairy plants in Egypt. All treatments showed similar changes during storage at 5 ± 1°C for 28 d. Total solids, fat, titratable acidity and pH values coincided with those of Labneh. Some components increased until the seventh day, i.e. acetaldehyde and diacetyl, while other features, such as the ratio of soluble nitrogen/total nitrogen and tyrosine, increased until the fourteenth day of storage. Thereafter, no marked variations occurred. However, a decrease in tryptophan content of all products occurred during the storage period. Total viable count and count of lactic acid bacteria of Labneh-like product as well as Labneh increased until the end of the second week of storage and then decreased. Coliforms, yeasts and molds and psychrotrophic bacteria were detected in some fresh and stored samples. The starter culture which consisted of 1.5% Enterococcus faecalis 19 and 1.5% Enterococcus faecalis 22 was used successfully to manufacture a Labneh-like product with high acceptability when fresh or refrigerated at 5 ± 1°C.

Currently, the food industry wants to expand the range of probiotic yogurts but each probiotic bacteria offers different and specific health benefits. This study examined the viable counts of Lactobacillus acidophilus and percentage syneresis of probiotic yoghurt produced from reconstituted skim and whole milk powder stored for 35 days at 4±2 oC. Skim milk probiotic yoghurt (SMPY) and Whole milk probiotic yoghurt (WMPY) were produced by reconstituting dry milk powder (130 g/900 ml w/v), which was pasteurized at 85 oC for 15 mins, cooled to 43 oC and inoculated with freeze dried probiotic yoghurt mixed starter culture containing Streptococcus thermophilus (ST), Lactobacillus bulgaricus (LB) and Lactobacillus acidophilus (LA). The yoghurt samples were analyzed for viability of ST, LB, LA and also syneresis. During storage, the viable counts of ST in SMPY decreased from 5.43x108 to 5.18x106 cfu/ml, LB (2.47x108 to 8.10x105 cfu/ml) and LA (1.83x108 to 5.78x105 cfu/ml). Similarly, the viable counts of ST in WMPY decreased significantly from 5.40x108 to 5.15x106 cfu/ml, LB (2.43x108 to 7.82x105 cfu/ml) and LA (1.80x108 to 5.84x105 cfu/ml). Although the mean viable counts of the LA decreased during storage, both SMPY and WMPY still contained an average of 1.48x106 cfu/ml of probiotic cells up to 28 days of storage, which is above the “therapeutic minimum” of 106 cfu/ml. The percentage syneresis of SMPY and WMPY increased significantly during the 35 days of storage, from 24.4-32.0 % and 24.8-32.7 % respectively. There was a positive correlation between storage time and syneresis thus affecting the texture. In conclusion, yoghurt made from either skim or whole milk powder can be used as an adequate carrier of LA (probiotic bacteria) up to a period of 28 days at 4±2 oC and a stabilizer should be used to reduce the separation of whey and thus maintain the texture.

The effect of adding Saccharomyces boullardii in soya yoghurt was studied. The control was made with soya milk and traditional starter culture (Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus) while the other three treatments were made by adding 1%, 2%, 3% of S. boulardii with traditional yoghurt starter. Proximate composition of all yoghurt treatments were determined after fermentation time. Shelf-life evaluation of yoghurt treatment were observed during the storage time. During the proximate composition evaluation, treatment with 3% S. boulardii had highest moisture and protein content at 83.43±0.03 and 92±0.3 but least ash and carbohydrate content at 1.2±0.18 and 4.27±0.3. During shelf-life evaluation, titratable acidity and syneresis values of yoghurt with S. boulardii were slightly increased while pH and water holding capacity decreased compared with control yoghurt. After 21 days, S. boulardii counts were 5.89, 6.07 and 6.03 log.cfu/ml for yoghurt with 2% and 3% S. boulardii respectively whereas L. bulgaricus and S. thermophilius of yoghurt with 3% S. boulardii were 7.45 and 8.38 log.cfu/ml respectively. The addition of S. boulardii improved the survivability of the bacteria starter culture.

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the viability of probiotic bacteria in bioyogurt with the addition of honey from Africanized and Jataí bees, in different concentrations. To prepare the fermented milk, reconstituted powdered milk and lactic acid starter culture were used. The bioyogurt was evaluated at 0, 7, 14, 21, 28, and 35 days of storage. Analyzes of pH, titratable acidity, and selective count of the Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-5 and Bifidobacterium BB-12 microorganisms were carried out. Counting was done, respectively, on MRS agar, in aerobiosis, and MRS-LP agar, in anaerobiosis, with plates incubated at 37°C for 72 hours. Treatments were arranged in a completely randomized design in split plot, with five treatments: without honey; 5 and 10% honey from Africanized bees, and 5 and 10% honey from Jataí bees. Storage times were evaluated in the split plots. In all treatments, bioyogurt showed counts of 107 CFU g-1 lactic acid bacteria. Probiotic cultures remained viable for 35 days under refrigeration (2-4°C). The interaction between the variation factors affected the probiotic concentration in the bioyogurt. The honeys have a favorable effect on the cell counts of the evaluated microorganisms.

Yogurt can be made from homogenized milk, low-fat milk or skimmed milk with the addition of powdered milk. Starter culture commonly used in yogurt is Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophillus can not survive in environments with high acidity, so probiotics needed. One of the fruits that can be used in the process of making yogurt is red fruit (Pandanus Conoideus L). The purpose of this study was to analyze the physical and organoleptic properties of probiotic yogurt given the addition of red fruit. The observed physical characteristics consist of pH, viscosity, total acid concentration and water activity (aw) and organoleptic arachnids observed consisting of color, flavour, aroma and consistency. This research was using a complete randomized design (RAL). The results showed that the addition of red fruit has a real effect (P<0.05) on pH, viscosity and total acid titrated and organoleptic test shows the addition of red fruit has a noticeable effect on color, flavour, aroma and viscosity in hedonic quality tests, then in hedonic tests affect aroma and flavour. Based on the results of yogurt testing with the addition of 2.5% this is the closest to control and acceptable to Indonesian National Standards (SNI).

Fermentation serves a key role in inhibiting spoilage microorganism through acidification and production of antimicrobial compounds. The technological information on properties of Streptococcus infantarius sub sp. infantarius which is predominant in most African fermented is dairy products very little. This study was therefore carried out to determine the functionality of selected African Streptococci strains in fermented dairy products. Pasteurized milk samples from camels and cows were inoculated with different strains and a selected combination at a rate of 3% v/v and incubated at different temperatures of 25 oC, 30 oC, 37 oC, and 45 oC for 9 hours. Analysis was done after every 3 hours for pH and titratable acidity while viscosity was done after incubation and cooling of the product. The different fermented milk samples were subsequently evaluated for consumer acceptability. Milk inoculated with both African type Streptococcus thermophillus (146A8.2) and Streptococcus infantarius sub sp. infantarius CJ 18 (9377), and incubated for nine hours recorded the highest amount of titratable acidity of 0.97 for the camel milk and had the least pH value of 4.12 for cow milk compared to the other strains. The cow milk had the highest viscosity level of 59.64 cPs compared to camel milk which was 29.44 cPs. The levels of titratable acidity and viscosity depended on the strain and incubation temperature. The African type Streptococcus thermophillus (146A8.2) and Streptococcus infantarius sub sp. infantarius CJ 18 (9377), isolated from fermented camel milk had good technological properties that are useful as starter culture for development of fermented milk products.

The microbiological properties of stored freeze dried cow milk cheese and soy cheese were investigated. Cow milk cheese and soy milk cheese were prepared using appropriate standard procedures. The microbial qualities of the stored freeze dried samples were determined using standard  methods as prescribed by Compendium of Methods for the Microbiological Examination of Foods and Bacteriological Analytical Manual. Data obtained were analyzed statistically to determine the effect of the packaging materials and storage duration on the microbial qualities of freeze dried cheese samples. Result of the microbial composition for the fresh cow milk and soy cheese for bacterial and fungi count are 3.00x103±0.01, 2.54x106±0.05 and 2.76x103±0.02, 2.60x106±0.10 while the result for the freeze dried cow milk and soy cheese before storage are 2.72x103±0.02, 2.35x106±0.30 and 2.54x103±0.03, 2.38x106±0.50. This indicates that all the packaging material types used have the ability to minimize the microbial growth of stored freeze dried cheese. Polythene film is recommended to be more suitable in terms of cost, availability, compactibility and weight. Keywords: cheese, freeze drying, microbial qualities, packaging materials.

In this paper ten symbiotic starter cultures for yogurt production were examined for their coagulation time, titratable acidity, pH at the moment of coagulation. Their maximum rate of acidification was also determined by model of fermentation kinetics. Three starter cultures were selected for production of Vietnamese yogurt. With the selected starter culture, yogurt from natural milk and reconstituted whole milk was obtained. Their coagulation time, acidity, maximum rate of acidification and rate of acidification during storage of product were studied. As a result of this study and mathematical modeling, we concluded that maximum rate of acidification at moment of coagulation and during storage was affected by the type of milk used in yogurt production.

The effect of freeze drying on the qualities of fresh cow milk and soy milk cheeses was investigated, with a view to preserve and present them in a more stable and portable form. The cow milk cheese and soy milk cheese used were freshly prepared with dimension of 2 x 3 cm and 0.2 cm thickness. The cow milk and soy cheese were divided into 6 portions of 100 g each. The initial properties of the cheeses samples been determined using a portion of 100 g each, the remaining 500 g were freeze dried. The nutritional, microbial and sensory qualities of the freeze dried cheeses were determined using standard methods. Results showed that freshly prepared cow milk cheese contains 54.02% moisture, 20.34% protein, 6.40% ash, 18.11% fat and 4.25% carbohydrate, 3.52mg/100g sodium, 7.02mg/100g potassium, 5.22mg/100g magnesium, 6.32mg/100g iron, 11.12mg/100g calcium, 3x103 cfu/g bacteria and 2.54 x 106 cfu/g fungi whereas freshly prepared soy cheese contains 50.89% moisture, 22.05% protein, 6.31% Ash, 19.02% fat and 4.06% carbohydrate, 3.52mg/100g sodium, 7.04mg/100g potassium, 5.14mg/100g magnesium, 6.20mg/100g iron, 10.76mg/100g calcium, 2.76x103 cfu/g bacteria and 2.60 x 106 cfu/g fungi. The moisture and fat contents of the freeze dried cow milk and soybean milk decreased significantly (P < 0.05) from 54.02% to 4.28%, 18.11% to 4.05% and 50.89% to 4.19%, 19.02% to 4.30% respectively. Freeze drying significantly decreased the bacteria and fungi contents of fresh cheeses; it decreased from 3x103 cfu/g to 2.72 x 103 cfu/g, 2.54 x 106 cfu/g to 2.35 x 106 cfu/g, and 2.76 x 103 cfu/g to 2.54 x 103 cfu/g, 2.60 x 106 cfu/g to 2.38 x 106 cfu/g for cow milk and soy milk cheese respectively. The carbohydrate, protein, ash content, calcium, sodium, magnesium, taste, appearance, flavour, acceptability of the cow milk cheeses increased significantly (P < 0.05) when freeze dried. Decreases in moisture content, fat and microbial counts of cheeses would enhance its stability and shelf life if properly packaged.

Yoghurt is usually produced from cow milk which is unsuitable for vegetarian diet. Chemical preservative used for its preservation may have adverse effect on the lactic acid bacteria. This research was designed to evaluate the effect of ginger extract on the viability of lactic acid bacteria, physico-chemical property and sensory attributes of bio preserved functional yoghurt produced from dairy milk and soy milk during storage at refrigerated temperature. The result obtained showed that yoghurt produced from soy milk (5.67 – 7.52 CFU/ml) had higher lactic acid bacteria count than yoghurt from dairy milk (4.71 – 7.31 CFU/ml) throughout the period of storage. Ginger extract was more active against fungi in dairy yoghurt than (0 - 5.09 CFU/ml) soy yoghurt (0 – 5.29 CFU/ml). The pH was generally lower in dairy yoghurt (4.29 - 4.67) than soy yoghurt (4.69 – 5.14) while the titratable acidity was higher in dairy yoghurt (1.30 – 2-01%) than soy yoghurt (0.7 – 1.54%). Addition of ginger extract improved the texture and flavour of soy yoghurt. It is therefore suggested that functional yoghurt with good sensory attributes can be produced from soy milk and dairy milk using ginger extract as bio-preservative.
