Quality characteristics were evaluated for whole barley yogurt prepared with lactic acid bacteria combination such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. Bulgaricus, and Streptococcus thermophilussei (1:1:1) with the addition of whole barley flour at 3%. The barley yogurt had lower pH, higher titratable acidity, and higher sugar content than control yogurt. The viable cell number of the barley yogurt was lower than the control yogurt. However, the viscosity and antioxidant activity of the barley yogurt were higher than those of the control yogurt. In up to 12 d of storage at 4oC, pH decreased while titratable acidity increased in both control yogurt and barley yogurt. The sugar content and brightness increased slightly. The viable cell number of the barley yogurt decreased during storage. However, the viable cell number of the barley yogurt met the standard suggested by the KFDA. Although the viscosity of the barley yogurt decreased, it corresponded to the required viscosity of a curd yogurt. Antioxidant activity slightly increased up to 9 d and then decreased, but the decrease of antioxidant activity was smaller in barley yogurt than in the control yogurt. During storage, there was no curd separation, change in scent, etc. Thus the storage quality of barley yogurt was relatively good.

In Japan, milk and food companies have recently developed many functional yogurts using selected probiotic lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and Bifidobacterium strains. In 1991, the FOSHU (foods for specified health uses) system began instituted by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. In 2010, approximately 1,000 commercially available items were labeled as FOSHU products that are specially given brands showing good health effects for humans. Japanese commercial yogurts are classified into three type categories: fermented using selected probiotics, functional components added, and standard types. Many functions are considered in the selection of probiotics including competitive adhesion exclusion of enteritic pathogens, cholesterol lowering effects, and positive immuno-modulatory effects. Adhesion to the human intestine is one of the most important characteristics of probiotic LAB and bifidobacteria. Our new screening system for adhesive activity involves a combination of three methods: the rat colonic mucin-micro plate assay, the Carnoy’s histochemical staining method, and the carbohydrate probe binding assay. Recently, we developed a new screening assay using the BIACORE biosensor chip coated with human colon mucin (HCM). We found new LAB strains that recognize and specifically bind to the human ABO blood type antigens. We named these “blood type LAB”. We identified the molecular LAB binding mechanism occurring in the human intestine through unique adhesin molecules that are expressed on the bacterial cell surface as lectin-like proteins. Bacteria with strong adhesion ability improve gastrointestinal health by continuous proliferation in the intestine; and increase the chance of intake into the Peyer’s patches through M-cells that inhibit allergies because of LAB immune-stimulating activity. The future Japanese food market will contain superior functional yogurts containing adhesive effective probiotic LAB and bifidobacteria that are expected to be developed using our proposed mass screening system shown here.

The objective of this study was to examine the quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of yogurt containing hot water extract from maca. Four different levels (0, 4, 8, 12%) of maca extract were added to milk followed by fermentation with lactic acid bacteria at 37℃ for 12 hrs, and then the physicochemical properties of the samples were investigated. During 7 days of storage at 4±1℃, the acid production (pH and titratable acidity) of the yogurt increased with the addition of maca extract. The Hunter L value (lightness) decreased, while the b value (yellowness) increased as the maca extract level in the yogurt increased. Viable cell counts were not significantly different among the samples. The results of consumer acceptance tests showed that no significant differences in overall acceptability were observed between the yogurts containing 4% and 8% of maca extract and a control yogurt. The yogurt containing maca extract exhibited higher DPPH radical and superoxide anion radical scavenging activities than the control yogurt over the storage period.

마늘 분말을 첨가한 요구르트의 품질특성 평가를 위하여 탈지분유에 0.1~0.5%(w/v) 마늘 분말을 혼합하고 Streptococcus thermophilus와 Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus의 혼합균주를 접종하여 42℃ 에서 24시간 배양하였다. 마늘 분말 첨가량에 따른 유산균의 생육정도, 요구르트의 이화학적 및 관능적 특성 을 검토하였다. 마늘 분말이 첨가된 요구르트의 적정산도는 0.78~0.81%로 마늘 분말이 첨가되지 않은 대조 군(0.73%)보다 높았다. 마늘 분말을 첨가한 요구르트의 생균수는 0.3% 첨가군에서만 상대적으로 낮았고 여 타 실험군은 대조군과 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 마늘분말의 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 요구르트의 점도도 상승 하여 0.5% 마늘 분말이 첨가된 요구르트의 점도가 가장 높았으며, 색도는 대조군과 마늘 분말 첨가 요구르트 사이에 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 관능적 특성을 조사한 결과 마늘 분말의 첨가에 따라 색은 더 높은 선호도를 보였고, 마늘 맛이나 향은 마늘 분말의 첨가량에 비례적으로 증가하였으며, 전반적인 기호도는 0.1%와 0.3% 첨가시는 대조군과 유의차가 없었다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 요구르트 고유의 품질특성이나 유산균의 생육 및 관능적 특성에 영향을 미치지 않는 범위에서 첨가 가능한 마늘 분말의 적정 수준은 0.3% 미만으로 판단된다.

We conducted growth inhibition tests on oral microorganisms using three strains of Lactobacillus spp. which are widely known as their probiotic properties. In these experiments, we measured the number of oral microorganisms after directly contacting lactobacillus with them. In addition, we conducted a similar study using yogurts which are well known as a p robiotic food. I n these yogurts, w e identified t he t ype o f lactobacilli by 1 6s r RN A nucleotide analysis. In o ur study, the growth of most of oral microorganisms were inhibited by lactobacilli, and we also found that yogurts had the highest effectiveness in inhibiting the growth of most of oral microorganisms. The lactobacilli contained in the yogurts were identified as Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus helveticus, Lactobacillus casei, and Lactobacillus helveticus

The yield stress of stirred yogurt was measured by the vane viscometer at different pre-shearing conditions, such as pre-shear speed, pre-shear time, and wait time, and temperature (12-38oC). The yield stress ranged from ~17.6 to 10 Pa and from 34.2 to 11.9 Pa, depending on the pre-shearing conditions and temperature, respectively. The preshear speed and the wait time significantly affected the yield stress. The temperature dependence of the yield stress was described by the Eyring’s kinetic model. The linear function of the temperature on the yield stress was limited at the 22oC, and at the above 22oC, the yield stress was maintained to be a constant (~12.5 Pa).

The principal objective of this study was to investigate the influence of buckwheat sprouts on the acid production and growth of lactic acid bacteria in to which 5 and 10%(w/v) buckwheat sprouts was added, followed by fermentation with Lactobacillus bulgaricus. In yogurt to which 5 and 10% buckwheat sprouts was added, pH was lower and titratable acidity was higher than those of the control. It was also noted significant changes in the number of viable cell counts with differing amounts of added buckwheat sprouts until 12 hours. When the yogurt samples were stored for 12 days at 4℃, the pH and titratable acidity of the yogurt to which 5 and 10% buckwheat sprouts was added were maintained at lower and higher than control levels, respectively. The highest number of viable cell counts was found in the yogurt to which 5% buckwheat sprouts was added. Rutin content was reduced via lactic acid fermentation, but quercetin content increased significantly in the yogurt with added buckwheat sprouts. It may be that the glycosidic bonds connected to rutin were hydrolyzed during fermentation by lactic acid bacteria. The total phenol compound content of the yogurt samples also increased after fermentation. The antioxidative activity of yogurt to which 10% buckwheat sprouts was added was shown to have a 60.95% free radical scavenging effect, which was the highest among all yogurt samples evaluated.

This study was perfomed to determine the feasibility of developing a healthy yogurt using tofu whey concentrates separated by nanofiltration (NF). The curd yogurt was prepared from whole milk with added skim milk powder, in which the NF powder was substituted at 0, 6.25, 12.5, or 25% for the skim milk powder. The quality characteristics were evaluated for pH, titratable acidity, viscosity, color, and viable cell counts. There were no significant differences in pH or titratable acidity between the control (yogurt with added skim milk powder only) and the yogurts with added NF powder, after 24 hr of fermentation at 370C. The apparent viscosities of the yogurts with added NF powder were higher (3,197~3,574 cps) than that of the control yogurt (3,196 cps). Lightness decreased, while yellowness increased, as the amount of NF powder increased. Sensory evaluations showed that the NF powder could be substituted for the skim milk powder at 6.25% without lowering the yogurt quality.

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.
