The aim of this study was to develop functional dairy products with high antioxidant activities to combat the risk of degenerative diseases. Rosemary and green tea extracts were added separately to reconstituted skim milk at the ratios of 2.0%, 4.0%, 6.0%, 8.0% and 10.0% respectively. The effect of pasteurisation, homogenisation, addition of calcium chloride and sodium chloride as well as the effect of added extracts on rennet coagulation time of milk were measured. The additions of green tea, rosemary extract, calcium chloride and pasteurisation significantly increased markedly the phenol content and the antioxidant activity of skim milk.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
