Background: The increasing prevalence of plant-based dietary preferences, driven by lactose intolerance, allergies, and adherence to vegan diets, has necessitated the exploration of alternative food matrices for probiotic delivery.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of whey protein isolate, pea protein isolate, and soy protein isolate on the viability of and during simulated in vitro gastrointestinal digestion. Furthermore, the study investigated the impact of two distinct matrices-cow's milk and an oat-based beverage-on the survival of these probiotic strains.
Incorporating plant protein isolates into milk can enhance probiotic culture growth by providing essential nutrients and altering the physicochemical properties of fermented milk. This study investigated the effects of adding 1.5% or 3.

Calcium compounds used in the dairy industry show substantial differences in their practical application. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the potential use of 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 mg Ca 100 g of milk in the form of calcium gluconate, lactate, and carbonate as alternatives to calcium chloride in manufacturing fresh acid rennet cheese from high-pasteurized (90 °C, 15 s) goat's milk.

In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of the type of milk (ovine, caprine) and the type and dose of collagen on the viability of four probiotic strains, L-26, 431, LA-5, and Lr-32, during in vitro gastrointestinal digestion. The highest survival rate under simulated in vitro digestion conditions compared to the number of cells before digestion was found in two strains, and , where survival rates were greater than 50% in each batch.

BB-12) from sheep's milk with inulin, apple fiber and inulin, or apple fiber and control samples were submitted to in vitro digestion in the mouth, stomach and small intestine. The bioavailability of calcium in the ice cream samples ranged from 40.

Consumers positively perceive fermented goat’s milk products as health-promoting due to their nutritional value, digestibility, and potential source of probiotics. This study aimed to evaluate the possibility of using different doses of collagen and collagen hydrolysate in the production of probiotic goat’s milk fermented by four monocultures: Lacticaseibacillus casei 431® Lactobacillus acidophilus LA- 5®, Lacticaseibacillus paracasei LP26, and Lacticaseibicillus rhamnosus Lr- 32®.

The purpose of this study was to determine the potential of the use of calcium citrate to manufacture fresh acid rennet cheese from high-temperature-pasteurized goat's milk (90 °C, 15 s) from the spring and autumn season and the effect of the calcium dose used on the physicochemical and organoleptic properties of the cheese. Autumn milk was found to be a richer source of total solids, confirming the effect of the production season on milk quality.

The study examined the effect of the storage and type of bacteria used for the fermentation of ice cream mixes and partial replacement of inulin with apple fiber on the physicochemical properties, viability of probiotic cultures and organoleptic properties of sheep's milk ice cream stored at -22 °C for 21 days. The addition of apple fiber reduced the pH value of ice cream mixes before fermentation.

The effect of vitamin C addition depends on the source of origin (rosehip, acerola and ascorbic acid in powder form) on the growth and survival of and the quality of fermented milk on the 1st and 21st day of storage was analyzed. The pH, total acidity, vitamin C, syneresis, color, texture profile and numbers of bacterial cells in fermented milk were determined.

The properties of the gels directly affect the quality of acid rennet cheeses. The analysis of raw goat's milk was carried out, then acid rennet gels were produced with the addition of six different calcium compounds (chloride, citrate, bisglycinate, gluconate, lactate, and carbonate).

The purpose of this research was to evaluate the possibility of using calcium amino acid chelate to produce goat's acid-curd cheese. In this study, four types of acid-curd cheeses from goat's milk subjected to 85 °C/5 min treatment were produced: control cheeses-made from milk without calcium addition and cheeses from milk enriched with 30, 35 and 40 mg of Ca (in 100 g of milk) in the form of calcium amino acid chelate.

Calcium bisglycinate is better absorbed by the body than inorganic forms of calcium. Moreover, the lactic acid which is produced in kefir fermentation and the presence of lactose have also a positive effect on the improvement of absorption of calcium.
