Abstract:The potential of producing acceptable symbiotic yoghurt enriched with coconut-cake was investigated. Yoghurt samples A (Control), B, C and D were produced at 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% of milk substitutions with coconut-cake. The physico-chemical, microbial and sensory analyses were determined to ascertain the quality attributes of the products. The results of physico-chemical analysis obtained showed increase in values for pH (4.32-4.45), specific gravity (1.03-1.14), soluble solids (7.10-10.47%) and sweetness index (10.60-20.13).There were also remarkable increase in the proximate values for moisture (80.10-85.23%), fat (1.50-3.13%), fibre (0.2-2.18%) and ash(0.53-1.01%). A reverse trend was observed for acidity, total solids, protein and carbohydrate values in enriched yoghurts. The microbial analysis showed no presence of coliform bacteria. The total microbial count was highest in sample B (8.0x10 5 ) while sample A had the highest lactic acid bacteria count (6.4x10 3 cfu/ml). The sensory evaluation result showed significant differences (0.05
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.
