Cashew yoghurt was formulated using cashew kernel milk. The physicochemical, microbiological and organoleptic assessment of the resulting product was examined and compared with commercial yoghurts. Results indicated that crude protein of 16.8% for cashew milk yoghurt compared favorably with 14.82% of commercial yoghurt. Caloric value of cashew yoghurt (133.06 kJ) was higher than that obtained for commercial yoghurts (112.01 kJ). Microbiological study revealed a total count of 1x10 6 CFU/g, which was attributed to the culture used in the fermentation process. The cashew milk yoghurt was generally accepted by the panelist as there were no differences in the sensory characteristics examined; however, there was a difference at p> 0.05 for mouth feel for the sample studied. It can be concluded that cashew milk serves as a potential recipe for acceptable yoghurt formulation.
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.
