The present study investigates the hydrolysis, microstructural profiling and utilization of guar gum (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba) as a prebiotic in yoghurt. Guar galactomannans (GG) was purified partially depolymerized using an acid, alkali enzyme to improve its characteristics increase utilization. potential hydrolyzed determined Basel supplemented media. Crude (CGG), (PGG), base (BHGG), acid (AH...

The rheological properties and microstructure of buffalo yoghurt were investigated and compared to bovine yoghurt. Buffalo yoghurt exhibited a greater degree of thixotropy and a higher level of syneresis. These differences can be linked to the underlying microstructure of the yoghurt, which is more porous and contains bigger fat globules compared to bovine yoghurt. This study shows how milk pro...

BACKGROUND Free radicals are connected with the increased risk of certain diseases, especially cancers. There is some scientific evidence that antioxidant-rich diet may inhibit the negative impact of free radicals. The aim of the present study was to analyse the antioxidant capacity of the selected commercial natural and flavoured fermented milks offered in Poland, derived from different produc...

BACKGROUND The aim of this research was to observe the changes which take place in the electrophoretic picture of milk proteins after pasteurisation and inoculation with different starter cultures (both traditional and probiotic). After incubation, the yoghurt, kefir, acidified milk, fermented Bifidobacterium bifidum drink and Lactobacillus acidophillus drink were chilled for 14 days to observe...
