Production of fermented milk analogs using subcritical water extraction of rice by-products and investigation of its physicochemical, microbial, rheological, and sensory properties.

Rice milling by-products extract and Persian grape syrup (Persian grape molasses), as the proper alternatives for milk ingredients and sucrose, respectively, can be considered a promising way to produce functional milk analogs. In this study, we studied the production of rice milling by-product extracts via the subcritical water extraction method, as a green method. The optimum extract was then fermented by and , and the different physicochemical, sensory, and rheological properties and the viability of these lactic acid bacteria were assessed during fermentation and certain intervals of 28-day storage.
