Yoghurt-like products has been produced from a blend of soybean, coconut and breadfruit extract in the ratio B20:C20:S60, B20:C30:S50, B30:C20:S50 B30:C30:S40 using Lactobacillus acidophilus on substrates. Two sets yoghurt-like these composites was stored at refrigeration (5oC) then ambient temperature (29±2oC) for 4 weeks 5 days, respectively. They were examined changes physicochemical propert...

Yoghurt as a milk fermentation product has been popular for several years because of its probiotic properties. Probiotic yoghurt is processed by the heated then added with lactic acid bacteria and allowed to ferment. However, series processes makes some nutritional content lost. Therefore, needs replace this loss improve quality. The addition herbs or natural ingredients could be an effective w...

BACKGROUND Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1), a carcinogenic substance is found in milk and dairy products. The effect of season and type of dairy products on AFMi level in northern Iran was investigated in this study. METHODS Three hundred samples (each season 75 samples) including raw and pasteurized milk, yoghurt, cheese, and cream samples were collected from three distinct milk producing farms. The sam...

Milk was thermally processed by Ultra-High-Temperature (UHT, 132 to 154 C for 0 to 12 sec) and Vat (VAT, 66 C to 88 C for 0 to 30 min) systems. Representative milks were fermented into gels by a traditional yoghurt fermentation procedure. Selected functional properties, i.e. whey protein denaturation, gel strength, and their interrelationship were studied. Denaturation behavior of the five whey...

Milk proteins including casein are sources of peptides with bioactivity. One of these peptides is beta-casomorphin (BCM) which belongs to a group of opioid peptides formed from β-casein variants. Beta-casomorphin 7 (BCM7) has been demonstrated to be enzymatically released from the A1 or B β-casein variant. Epidemiological evidence suggests the peptide BCM 7 is a risk factor for development of h...

Ferric pyrophosphate is a water-insoluble Fe compound used to fortify infant cereals and chocolate-drink powders as it causes no organoleptic changes to the food vehicle. However, it is only of low absorption in man. Recently, an innovative ferric pyrophosphate has been developed (Sunactive Fe trade mark ) based on small-particle-size ferric pyrophosphate (average size 0.3 microm) mixed with em...

A number of intervention studies have reported that the prevalence of obesity may be in part inversely related to dairy food consumption while others report no association. We sought to examine relationships between energy, protein and calcium consumption from dairy foods (milk, yoghurt, cheese, dairy spreads, ice-cream) and adiposity including body mass index (BMI), waist (WC) and hip circumfe...
