his study was conducted to investigate the growth and activity of various yogurt cultures when honey was used in place of sucrose in milk, then to develop and optimize product formulations for a low-fat drinkable yogurt shake sweetened with honey. Reconstituted NFDM (12% w/v) containing 5% (w/w) sucrose, fructose or honey were inoculated with Lactobacillus acidophilus La-7, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus Lr-78, Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus St-134 or Bifidobacterium sp. Bf-13 at a 5% (v/v) level, incubated at ;Results indicated that honey had no significant effect on the growth or activity of lactic acid bacteria, however it did enhance (p... |
