TY - JOUR T1 - Probiotic Survival in Yogurt Made from Ultrafiltered Skim Milk During Refrigeration Storage AU - , Alizadeh Ainaz AU - , Mohammad Reza Ehsani JO - Research Journal of Biological Sciences VL - 3 IS - 10 SP - 1163 EP - 1165 PY - 2008 DA - 2001/08/19 SN - 1815-8846 DO - rjbsci.2008.1163.1165 UR - https://makhillpublications.co/view-article.php?doi=rjbsci.2008.1163.1165 KW - Probiotic KW -survival KW -ultrafiltration KW -yoghurt AB - Chemical composition, growth and survival of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium Lactis as probiotic bacteria in yoghurt made from ultrafiltered milk were studied and compared with control yoghurt with 2% (w/v) skim milk powder in triplicate. The results showed that, increasing the protein content and total solid concentration of milk by ultrafiltration, increased buffering capacity, acidity and the survival of probiotics. However, the survival of probiotics decreased throughout the storage period at 2°C. This study indicates the importance of protein content on survival of probiotic strains because of more available peptides and amino acids and also its effect on buffering capacity that reduce the lethal effect of lactic acid on yoghurt bacteria.
