PURPOSE Breakfast consumption has been recommended as part of a healthy diet. Recently, ready-to-eat cereals (RTEC) became more popular as a breakfast item. Our aim was to analyse the dietary characteristics of an RTEC breakfast in European adolescents and to compare them with other breakfast options. METHODS From the European multi-centre HELENA study, two 24-h dietary recalls of 3137 adoles...

Milk and dairy products are fundamental items in all social groups’ diets. The production of functional milk supplemented with plant extracts is a potential direction research the sector. In present study, chufa (tiger nut) was mixed buffalo for manufacturing frozen yoghurt. Flavoring materials (orange (O), strawberry (St), cocoa (Co), instant coffee “soluble coffee” classic (N) cinnamon (Ci)) ...

In this study, the possibility of producing yoghurt from both plant and animal sources was explored. Hence, a comparative study carried out on samples that were produced cow milk (CM), oat flakes (OM), African yam beans (Sphenostylis stenocarpa) (AYB). The physicochemical organoleptic properties, as well microbial stability samples, analyzed using standard methods. proximate compositions (moist...

In this research, an integrated physico-chemical and sensory approach was implemented to study the impact of sea buckthorn addition in a fermented dairy product such as yoghurt. Yoghurt samples were prepared with puree different concentrations - 1%, 3%, 5%, 7%. Thus, research done determine on quality The obtained results demonstrate that fat content is decreasing from 4.43 % for sample 1% 4.21...

100 lactic acid bacterial strains isolated from traditional fermented foods (yoghurt, milk cream, sour dough and milk) were screened for bacteriocin production. Twenty six strains producing a nisin-like bacteriocin were selected. Most of these isolates gave only a narrow inhibitory spectrum, although one showed a broad inhibitory spectrum against the indicator strains tested, this strain was de...

The study assessed the independent and combined effect of two specialty carbohydrates (polydextrose and xylitol) on appetite. Eight female and seven male lean volunteers were recruited from the University of Leeds campus. Using a repeated measures design, volunteers completed four conditions in a counterbalanced order. Each condition varied according to the yoghurt formulation administered: a c...

TROJANOVÁ I., RADA V. (2005): Enzymatic activity in fermented milk products containing bifidobacteria. Czech J. Food Sci., 23: 224–229. Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Bifidobacterium animalis strains were tested for α-galactosidase, β-galactosidase and α-glucosidase activities. Commercially available yoghurts with bifidobacteria were also tested. Whi...

Wróblewska B., Kaliszewska A. (2012): Cow’s milk proteins immunoreactivity and allergenicity in processed food. Czech J. Food Sci., 30: 211–219. The immunoreactivity and allergenicity of proteins present in processed food (UHT milk, yoghurt, hard cheese, cottage cheese, biscuit, and sausage intended for children) were determined in this study. Proteins were characterised by SDS-PAGE electrophor...

milk proteins provide a natural source of bioactive peptides with potential health benefits and applications in the food industry. the release of these peptides from milk proteins is achieved either by hydrolysis using digestive proteases or by lactic acid bacteria fermentation. peptides, particularly those derived from milk proteins, can exert a wide range of nutritional, functional and biolog...

The authors examined the association of milk and milk products consumption (MMPC) with serum lipid profiles including total cholesterol (TC), triacylglycerols (TG), HDL cholesterol (HDLC), LDL cholesterol (LDLC), and TC/HDLC ratio in a community-based sample. The study population comprised 461 men and 834 women aged 40-79 years who, in 2001, participated in an annual healthy examination and a l...
