Mastitis and antimicrobial resistance are a big challenge to the dairy industry in sub-Saharan Africa. A study was conducted in Kashongi and Keshunga subcounties of Kiruhura District (in Uganda) where the government and private sector have deliberate programs to improve production efficiency, quality, and safety of milk and its products. The study aimed to determine the prevalence of mastitis, ...

This study investigated the levels of the antibiotic tetracycline contained in cow milk, goat milk, butterfat, soft cheese and yoghurt samples. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) standard methods were used for the detection and quantification of tetracycline in 40 dairy products samples. All the analysed samples contained residues of tetracycline antibiotics. The mean tetracycline re...

OBJECTIVES This study aims to analyse the differences, with regard to socio-cultural characteristics and dietary habits, between low and high consumers of yoghurt and other fermented dairy product desserts, and the nutritional significance of these differences. METHODS We analysed the diet of a healthy population (4-65 years), using the 24-hour recall method, on three non-consecutive days. Th...

Feeding agro-industrial by-products and unconventional forages, rich in potentially anti-nutritional factors, may influence the quality of the raw milk and the dairy products prepared therefrom. The aim of the present study was to determine side-effects on physicochemical properties of milk, yoghurt and cheese of feeding diets where one third were feeds either rich in lipids (tomato pomace and ...

BACKGROUND Tarhana, a wheat-yoghurt fermented mixture, is considered as a good source of saccharides, proteins, some vitamins and minerals. Moreover, their preparation is inexpensive and lactic acid fermentation offers benefits like product preservation, enhancement of nutritive value and sensory properties improvement. The aim of this work was to evaluate changes of some chemical parameters du...

BACKGROUND Yoghurt is a fermented milk of unique sensory, nutritive and dietetic value offered in a variety of types and in different flavours. Vegetables belong to the group of food products rich in antioxidant substances (e.g., vitamin C, carotenoids, tocopherols, polyphenols) which regular consumption lowers the risk of many diseases including cancers and cardiovascular disorders. The aim of...

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 present research work was undertaken to increase the consistency of dahi or yoghurt on its quality using volume reduction, commercial starch powder and potato mash. In this experiment, five different types of dahi samples were prepared and designated as A (30% volume reduction), B (990 ml milk + 1% CSP), C (980 ml milk+2% CSP), D (970 ml milk + 3% CSP) and E (950 ml milk + 5% potato mash). ...

BACKGROUND Free radicals are connected with the increased risk of certain diseases, especially cancers. There is some scientific evidence that antioxidant-rich diet may inhibit the negative impact of free radicals. The aim of the present study was to analyse the antioxidant capacity of the selected commercial natural and flavoured fermented milks offered in Poland, derived from different produc...
