Plain and fruit‐flavoured yoghurts were made by adding 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0 mL carob juice concentrate (CJC) portions to 100 mL milk. The titratable acidity, pH, viscosity, whey separation, yoghurt organisms and sensory properties were determined weekly over a period of 4 weeks. Addition of CJC caused an increase in the fermentation time and reduced viscosity and viable organisms, while increasing the pH and whey separation of the yoghurts (P < 0.05). A lack of sweetness was the main criticism of the yoghurts with 2.5 and 5.0 mL CJC, while those with 7.5 or 10.0 mL were mostly preferred by sensory panellists.
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.
