Recently, consumers’ awareness of the importance of the intestinal action of lactic acid bacteria and intestinal microbes is increasing, as well as interest in yogurt. In this study, yogurt was prepared with three mixed strains (lactic acid bacteria combination, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp., and Bulgaricus, Streptococcus thermophilussei, 1:1:1) by adding oats flour, and the quality characteristics of yogurt were investigated, while stored at a storage temperature of 4℃ for 12 days. According to the storage period, the control as wel as the oat yogurt showed slight decrease in pH, and no significant change in acidity. Sugar content slightly increased. and brightness decreased, in the control and the oat yogurt. Visible cell numbers increased during storage, and decreased on the 12th day. Viscosity in the oat yogurt was 7,580 cP, which was approximately eight times higher than that of the control group, and decreased gradually according to the storage period. Antioxidant activity (DPPH) was approximately two times higher in the oat-added yogurt, and slightly increased with the storage period, decreased on the 12th day of storage, and β-glucan was detected only in oat-added yogurt.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the jujube hot-water extraction and antioxidant. After extraction of hot-water jujube, general composition analysis and functional tests were performed. The results of general composition analysis showed 22.33% of moisture content, 0.71% of crude lipid, 5.21% of crude protein, and 3.87% of ash. From DPPH test results, in concentrations of 1,000 μg/mL of jujube extracts, electron donating ability was shown with 68.24%. The SOD ability in concentrations of 1,000 μg/mL was 13.12%. The nitrite scavenging ability of jujube extracts was 11.79% at 1,000 μg/mL. The yogurt with 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4% of jujube extracts was made, and the general composition analysis and the functional tests were performed. The results of the general composition analysis of jujube yogurt, showed 74.71~76.56% of moisture contents, 1.31~3.38% of crude lipid, 2.13~3.40% of crude protein, and 1.18~1.28% of ash. The DPPH test results showed 46.33% for 1% added jujube extract, 53.78% for 2% added jujube extract, 90.87% for 3% added jujube extract, and 89.58% for 4% added jujube extract. The SOD ability showed 4.93% for 1% added jujube extract, 7.28% for 2% added jujube extract, 11.38% for 3% added jujube extract, and 11.50% for 4% added jujube extract.
Changes in titratable acidity, viable cells and sensory properties of curd yogurt during lactic fermentation in milk added with mugwort extract have been studied. Milk added with 5%, 10%, 15% or 20% of mugwort extract was fermented with single or mixed culture of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus for 24 hours. Addition of mugwort extract markedly stimulated the acid production and propagation of lactic acid bacteria. Among the organism tested, the mixed culture of Lzctobczcillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus produced the highest amount of acid, and Lactobacillus bulgaricus showed the highest number of viable cell counts. Sensory property of curd yogurt added with mugwort extract was evaluated as better than reference sample(milk yogurt). The sample prepared by fermenting milk containing mugwort extract at 5% level with Lactobacillus bulgaricus showed the most favorite characteristics.
