Abstract

Due to the high consumption rate of fermented milk products such as yogurt, the fortification of these products will effectively reduce diseases associated with nutritional deficiencies. In the present study, after incorporating Spirulina into yogurt at four different concentrations (0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1%), we studied its effect on the fermentation process, texture, nutraceutical and sensory characteristics of yogurt. The addition of 0.25% of Spirulina was significantly sufficient to accelerate the end of fermentation (p < 0.05) and conserve the textural properties and sensory acceptability of the final milk product. This treatment also exhibited significant better water holding capacity and lower whey syneresis during 28 days of storage. During this period, the colored yogurt showed negligible variations for the L*, a* and b* indices, reflecting the strong stability of Spirulina color. Thanks to its high content in pigments, Spirulina considerably improve the antioxidant activity of the new formulated yogurt. Overall, it can be concluded that Spirulina can be used as a natural ingredient to develop a novel yogurt with high nutritional properties.

  • Textural qualities and sensory acceptability of final milk product are preserved when 0.25% Arthrospira is incorporated into yogurt.

    “The textural qualities and sensory acceptability of the final milk product were preserved when 0.25% Arthrospira was incorporated into the yogurt.”
  • Adding different amounts of Arthrospira to yogurt (0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1%) changes fermentation process, texture, and nutritional or sensory qualities.

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.
