powder; cold-acid hydrolysed; hot-acid hydrolysed. In addition there was a significant quantity of metabolites remaining water-soluble after all forms of hydrolysis. 4. When 1 or 2 hr. fractions of bile were analysed the proportion of radioactivity excreted as glucuronide always decreased in successive samples, whereas water-soluble metabolites generally increased. In some animals the proportio...

fruit yoghurt is frequently made with fermented milk products; however, the use of fruit and its products may cause changes in the viscoelastic properties, syneresis and sensory properties of fruit yoghurt. one approach to improve these properties in fruit yoghurt is the use of thickening agents. this study investigated the effect of carboxymethyl cellulose and guar thickening agents on the pro...

The increasing interest in a healthy diet is stimulating innovative development of novel scientific products in the food industry. The viable lactic acid bacteria in fermented milk products, such as yoghurt, have been associated with increased lactose tolerance, a well-balanced intestinal microflora, antimicrobial activity, stimulation of the immune system and antitumoural, anticholesterolaemic...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of a yoghurt containing a novel fat emulsion on energy and macronutrient intakes up to 8 h post-consumption in non-overweight, overweight and obese subjects, and to assess energy compensation over the following 24 h. DESIGN: A double-blind, placebo-controlled, within-subject crossover design was used. Twenty (10 female, 10 male) nonoverweight (body mass ind...

Selenium (Se) is considered as an essential element for human body. Selenized probiotic fermented milk drink (DOOGH) as a functional beverage to increase Se available in body. The predominate sugar, protein and mineral ion of Iranian yoghurt drink (DOOGH) are lactose, casein and calcium, respectively. Different levels of  Selenium (2.5 – 3- 3,5-  4 and 4.5) is prepared and its suitability based...

The galacto-oligosaccharide (GOS) OLIGOMATE 55N (Yakult) is a mixture of oligosaccharides, the main component of which is 4'-galactosyllactose (4'-GL). Numerous reports have shown that GOSs are non-digestible, reach the colon and selectively stimulate the growth of bifidobacteria. The product has been used as a food ingredient and its applications have expanded rapidly. However, the bifidobacte...

In recent years there has been a proliferation of knowledge about normal and abnormal digestion and absorption of carbohydrates. Many of these advances have been made since Anderson's comments about sugar intolerance in her review of intestinal malabsorption in childhood published in this journal in 1966, and since Holzel's review of the problem in 1967. This review is not intended as a compreh...

dehydration, as one of the practical ways to increase the shelf-life and applicability of yoghurt in various foodstuffs, is normally done by freeze drier (fd) which is an expensive and time-consuming process. for these reasons, in the present study the capability of microwave–vacuum drier (mvd), as an alternative process, was investigated. for doing so, the fat free yoghurt samples of 2.2, 4.2 ...
