Today, there is much interest in the use of natural ingredients in the food industry. Flaxseed mucilage (FSM) stands out for its health benefits and functional characteristics. The effect of FSM and its combination with carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) on quality properties of stirred yogurt were investigated. The addition of FSM and FSM + CMC to stirred yogurt increased the viscosity and decreased syneresis. Addition of FSM decreased the cohesiveness and increased the adhesiveness of the stirred yogurt, while its combination with CMC leads to decreased adhesiveness, increased cohesiveness and springiness. The gumminess and hardness of yogurt were reduced when supplemented with FSM and FSM + CMC. Sensory attributes were influenced by FSM and FSM + CMC; however, these were not deteriorated significantly during 21 days storage at 4 °C. FSM has the potential as a natural stabilizer to improve the texture of stirred yogurt.

This study proposes the use of lyophilized powder of purple-fleshed sweet potato (LP) as a new multifunctional ingredient to improve the identity and quality parameters of stirred yogurts. The physical and chemical properties, color, monomeric anthocyanin content, lactic acid bacteria viability, water retention capacity, microstructure, and texture were evaluated for yogurts enriched with LP at the levels of 2% (YLP2), 4% (YLP4), and 6% (YPL6), stored for 30 days under refrigeration (4 °C). The results indicated that LP provided different intensities and shades of pink coloration to yogurt, in addition to increasing ( < 0.

This study aimed to evaluate the ability of Persian gum to encapsulate curcumin and enhance its stability in dairy products. Given the increasing interest in functional foods, this study investigated the incorporation of nanocapsules containing curcumin (CLN) into functional stirred yogurt (CLN-Y). CLN was prepared with Persian gum (PG) at different levels and included in the yogurt formula (CLN-Y1%, CLN-Y2%, and CLN-Y3%).

Electronic address:

Stirred soy yogurt as a dairy alternative is widely accepted among consumers, but its poor stability has been an urgent problem. We found that Leuconostoc mesenteroides Lm10 produced dextran reduced water mobility and improved the water holding capacity of stirred soy yogurt, especially with over 4 % sucrose added which could completely prevent whey separation. With the increase of dextran content, the particle size of stirred soy yogurt was significantly decreased, accompanied by the improvement of viscoelastic behaviors and resistance to deformation.
