Effects of cold storage time on the quality and active probiotics of yogurt fermented by Bifidobacterium lactis and commercial bacteria Danisco.

In this study, the commercial bacteria Danisco and Bifidobacterium lactis were used to ferment soy yogurt, and then the quality of yogurt and the number of active probiotics in yogurt during storage were investigated. The results showed that the total number of viable bacteria in soy yogurt increased first and then decreased, but all of them met the standard for the number of viable bacteria in probiotic foods. The content of protein, lipid, and total sugar in soy yogurt decreased gradually with the extension of storage time.

Emulsifying properties of different soy hull pectin polysaccharides and application in mayonnaise.

Unlabelled: Soy hull pectic polysaccharide (SHPP) is a kind of biological macromolecule prepared from soy hull, which has certain thickening and gel properties. In present study, SHPP was extracted with citric acid and sodium citrate from soybean hulls under the assistance of microwave, respectively. SHPPs were then compared with commercial pectin polysaccharide to test their emulsification ability.

Effects of different combinations of probiotics on rheology, microstructure, and moisture distribution of soy materials-based yogurt.

The effects of different probiotics on the texture, rheological properties, microstructure, and water distribution of yogurt fermented with soy powder, soy isolate protein powder, soy umbilical powder, and soy whey as the main raw materials were studied. The soy materials-based yogurt fermented by Danisco mixed probiotic reached the end of fermentation after 4 h, which significantly shortened the fermentation time compared with other probiotic combinations. The fermentation with Danisco mixed probiotic and Kefir mixed probiotic respectively resulted in good texture and a denser and more homogeneous microstructure, which was consistent with the sensory evaluation results.
