in the present research work, influence of fleawort (plantago ovate l.) seed hydrocolloid at three concentration level (0.1, 0.15 and 0.2%) was investigated on physicochemical, textural and sensory characteristics of low fat yoghurt. the treated yoghurt samples were compared with a positive (3% fat) and negative (0.2%) control sample after 1, 7 and 15 days of storage. fleawort seed hydrocolloid...

The objective of the present study was to assess the effect of consumption of a yoghurt-based drink enriched with 1-2 g plant sterols/d on serum lipids, transaminases, vitamins and hormone status in patients with primary moderate hypercholesterolaemia. Thirty patients were randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups: a low-fat low-lactose yoghurt-based drink enriched with 1 g plant sterol ...

milk and dairy products are in diet almost every day. milk fat contains 70% of saturated fatty acids which can cause an increase in total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and the risk of cardiovascular diseases. therefor, modification of fat composition at dairy products such as yoghurt seems necessary. walnut has high amount of essential fatty acids, anti oxidants and other beneficial ...

Frozen yoghurt has been the fastest growing product in the frozen dessert market in recent years. Consumer’s interest in frozen yoghurt stems from the desirable nutritional properties attributed to the product. Yoghurt contains substantial amounts of live lactic acid bacteria and the beneficial effects of yoghurt are postulated to be due to its probiotic contents. The present study was carried ...

yoghurt ice cream (yic) or frozen yoghurt dessert can be regarded as a healthy alternative to plain ice cream. also use of soy derived products in food formulations can lead to the development of products of improved nutritional and health promoting values. yoghurt ice cream was prepared using full-fat soy flour to substitute 55% of non fat dry milk content. product formulation comprised of 12%...

Oil-based products enriched with plant stanol esters can lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol concentrations by 10-14%. Effectiveness of low-fat products, however, has never been evaluated, although such products fit into a healthy diet. We therefore examined the effects of plant stanol esters emulsified into low-fat yoghurt (0.7% fat) on fasting concentrations of plasma lipids and l...

With the current upward trend in nutritional and health awareness, the consumers demands for high quality probiotic product with acceptable sensory characteristics. The main purpose of this research was to observe the influence of different levels of honey (5%, 10% and 15% and 20%) to yoghurt and its effect on viability of microbial flora of yoghurt, chemical and sensory characteristics. Honey ...
