Abstract

Abstract Great attention has been given to Spirulina platensis for consideration as the superfood of the future due to its high bioactive compounds and nutritional values. Boosting effects of S. platensis and whey protein hydrolysates (WPH) on the growth of probiotics in ayran, a fermented milk product, through the fermentation and storage periods were investigated in this study. This study aimed to enhance the growth of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, Bifidobacterium lactis, Streptococcus thermophilus, and L. acidophilus with the addition of S. platensis and WPH added or not probiotics into ayran. Effects of S. platensis and WPH (at 0%, 0.25%, 0.5%, and 1%) on the growth of probiotic culture were studied before and after the fermentation and at seventh, 14th, and 21st days of storage. S. platensis and WPH had significant boosting effects (P < .05) on the growth of St. thermophilus (9.22 log cfu/mL), L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus (6.85 log cfu/mL), L. acidophilus (5.39 log cfu/mL), and B. lactis (7.96 log cfu/mL) and biochemical variables. The highest total solid level (0.99) and protein content (25.16 mg/L) were observed by mixing of S. platensis and WPH at 1% into ayran. The encountered variability in the boosting effect of S. platensis and WPH depended on their addition to ayran. S. platensis and WPH had great potentials for enhancing the nutritional value of ayran and the growth of the probiotic culture.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
