Consumer interest in health-promoting food products is a major driving force for the increasing global demand of functional (probiotic) dairy foods. Yogurt is considered the ideal medium for delivery of beneficial functional ingredients. Gamma-amino-butyric acid has potential as a bioactive ingredient in functional foods due to its health-promoting properties as an anti-stress, anti-hypertensiv...

Yogurt becomes a functional food upon incorporating probiotics-live microorganisms which when adequately administered confer health benefits. Prebiotics are fermentable fibres that nourish beneficial gastrointestinal microflora enhancing the functionality of probiotics. This research aimed to improve the acceptability and functionality of probiotic yogurt produced in Mwanza, Tanzania by incorpo...

Abstract Nowadays, the consumption of probiotic yogurt has been a significant increase. Mostly people prefer to consume yoghurt because its taste and high nutrients. However, in manufacturing process yogurt, thermal causes some nutritional losses, e.g. , ?-carotene. Therefore, replace loss ?-carotene during this process, then added an extract Podang Urang mango ( Mangifera indica L.). Mango is ...

background and objective: antibiotic consumption is the main way to cure infection induced by helicobacter pylori. on the other hand, antibiotics have side effects on human body. so, finding an efficient way to replace antibiotic consumption seems necessary. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of broccoli sprout extract on the viability of probiotic bacteria and yogurt’s physico...

We propose a consistent utility-based framework to jointly explain a household’s decisions on purchase incidence, brand choice and purchase quantity. The approach differs from other approaches, currently available in the literature, as it is able to take into account consumption dynamics. In the model, households derive utility from consumption, and they relate their purchase behavior to consum...

It is conceivable that the ”whether to buy” and ”how much to buy” decisions in the purchasing process of households are influenced by the inventory process. In this paper we therefore put forward a model for consumption, where we rely on established economic theory. We incorporate this model in a model for purchase behavior. Our consumption specification, which is derived from utility maximizat...

background: consuming the preloads reduce energy intake within a meal, but no investigation has assessed the changes of body weight and cardiovascular (cvd) risks by consuming preload during a long term among overweight and obese subjects. methods: this randomized controlled parallel clinical trial conducted among 60 participants (25 men and 35 women) to consume a low-calorie diet with similar ...

This study investigated the effect of added freeze-dried mulberry fruit juice (FDMJ) (1, 3 and 5%) on the antioxidant activity and fermented characteristic of yogurt during refrigerated storage. A decrease in pH of yogurt and increase in acidity was observed during fermentation. The yogurts with FDMJ exhibited faster rate of pH reduction than control. Initial lactic acid bacteria count of yogur...

Background: Dental caries occur due to a dynamic demineralization process that happens when calcium and phosphate ions are dissolved carbohydrates fermented by microorganisms in the mouth, leading decrease saliva pH. Saliva production occurs as response stimuli such tasting chewing food. contains oral cavity bacteria, cervical gingival fluid, leftover food, known whole saliva. Normally, pH rang...
