This study was carried out to determine some properties of set type yogurts produced using different packaging materials and stored at 4±1 °C for 28 days and the effect of the packaging material on the viability of yogurt bacteria. Sensory analysis, bacterial counts (Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus ve Streptococcus. thermophilus), and some physicochemical properties (pH, titratable acidity, and released serum amount) of yogurt samples incubated in five different packaging materials (plastic, steel, clay, glass, and porcelain dishes) during the cold storage process were determined. The results found showed that the packaging material was effective on the numbers of viable L. bulgaricus and S. thermophilus (p < 0.01).
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.
