BACKGROUND The study aimed to assess the risk related to consumption of low-fat dairy products by expectant and lactating women. MATERIAL AND METHODS A survey was used to verify the popularity of such products among expectant and lactating women and then the content of Cd and Pb in low-fat dairy products was determined. RESULTS In the group of expectant women consuming dairy products, nearl...

Echium oil (EO) is rich in stearidonic acid (SDA) as well linolenic acid, which have many health benefits, and protective roles inflammation, cardiovascular disease (CVD) cancer. The study aims to produce evaluate yoghurt fortified with encapsulated echium (EEO) a functional low-fat dairy food. EEO was added skimmed buffalo milk at rate of 0, 2, 4, 6% (w/v) create 4 treatments. Physiochemical, ...

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...

This study aimed to develop Greek style yoghurts with the addition of bovine colostrum. Four yoghurt formulations were produced different colostrum content (0%, 10%, 20% and 30%). The fat, protein, total solids, ash, retinol levels quantified as well colour was measured. A sensory analysis conducted 103 untrained panelists, evaluating attributes appearance, aroma, consistency, flavour, overall ...

Abstract—The increasing interest in plant sterol enriched foods is due to the fact that they reduce blood cholesterol concentrations without adverse side effects. In this context, enriched foods with phytosterols may be helpful in protecting population against atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. The aim of the present work was to evaluate in a population of Viseu, Portugal, the consump...

Baobab is a dry land product rich in vitamins and minerals but has remained underutilized. Therefore, value addition of the baobab pulp through incorporation to probiotic yoghurt will promote dietary utilization. Different treatments were made by incorporating different amounts ground pulp. Treatments analyzed for protein, fat, ash moisture content. Total solids, synerisis, titratable acidity, ...

Sensory properties and physico-chemical parameters of 10 most popular brands of commercial set-type Turkish yoghurts were evaluated and correlation coefficients between the two indices were investigated. The results indicated that increases in volatile compounds (acetaldehyde, 2-butanone, 2-nanonane, ethyl acetate), titratable acidity, ash and fat contents inversely correlated with the overall ...

The effect of yoghurt and soya yoghurt containing Bifidobacterium lactis Bb-12 or B. longum Bb-46 on Ehrlich ascites tumour cell proliferation was investigated in vitro and in vivo. Tumour cells were incubated with B. lactis Bb-12 or B. longum Bb-46 cultivated in de Mann Rogosa Sharpe (MRS) broth medium, or with their centrifuged supernatant fractions or sediments, for 2 h at 37 degrees C. Trea...

Our main goal in this project is to study the causes and finding solutions for both the hydrolytic and the oxidative rancidity that can be produced during condensed yoghurt production. The re pasteurization of the pasteurized milk and the addition of different types of antioxidants (ascorbic acid and propyl gallate) were used to achieve this goal. Chemical, physical, microbial and sensory tests...
