This study was aimed at evaluating the flow behavior characteristics of yogurt enriched with fish oil (FO) microcapsules prepared by complex coacervation method. FO was microencapsulated in gelatin-acacia gum coacervates. Then, the microcapsules were dried, and yogurt was produced from the milk enriched with microcapsules powder. Rheological characteristics (as measured using a rotational visco...

This article seeks to increase science and public awareness of the indispensible health implications of yogurt as a natural abundant probiotic, food and medicine. The word ‘yogurt’ is originally Turkish, describing a curdled or a coagulated milk product resulted from bacterial fermentation. These bacteria, named yogurt cultures, ferment lactose to lactic acid and process milk proteins towards s...

BACKGROUND Lactobacillus- and Bifidobacterium-containing yogurt (AB-yogurt) can suppress Helicobacter pylori. Improvement of the eradication rate by quadruple therapy of residual H. pylori after failed triple therapy is needed. OBJECTIVE We tested whether prior treatment with AB-yogurt improved the efficacy of quadruple therapy in eradicating residual H. pylori after failed triple therapy. ...

Sensory and textural parameters of yogurt are known to have an important impact on food quality and acceptability. The emphasis in this article is to summarize the rheological and textural parameters of yogurt. Viscosity, hardness, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, and springiness are considered the most important descriptors for the textural perception of yogurt. Factors affecting textural propertie...

Different strategies have been developed to incorporate bioactive compounds into food products improve their biological activity against degradation effects. The aim of this study was develop natural yogurt enriched with mango (Mangifera indica) peel extracts (MPEs) in chitosan–xanthan gum dispersions and evaluate physicochemical, rheological, antioxidant activity. A hydroethanolic extract obta...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Butyric acid has many applications in chemical, food and pharmaceutical industries. Applications of butyric acid are as an additive to food, flavorings, varnishes, perfumes, pharmaceuticals and disinfectants. Butyric acid concentrations have positive impact on the quality control of milk, yogurt and other probiotic dairy products. The present investigation was undertak...

Goat's milk yogurt prepared from milk of different goat breeds on different farm types resulted in different viscosity. Yogurt from milk of goat breeds browsing on pasture was richer in solids and resulted in signi®cantly higher viscosity compared with that of cow milk yogurt and yogurt produced from milk of goats fed hay and concentrate indoors. Milk from goats browsing on pasture was diluted ...

Infertility is a major public health concern. In Siddha System of Medicine many herbs were used for treating male sexual disorders. The use of herbs remarkable increased over the past few years and researcher now focuses on herbs. The present study was taken to analyze the fertility effect of an herb Cycas circinalis on male albino rats. A total of 18 healthy adult male albino rats were taken a...

We use the voluntary adoption of the NuVal shelf nutrition labels by a grocery retailer to estimate the value of these labels to shoppers in the yogurt category. Using an incomplete quadratic almost ideal demand system to represent consumer demand, we found a statistically significant positive effect of these shelf labels on demand for yogurt with above-average NuVal scores. The coefficients on...
