Kefir was made by adding kefir grains to 100% milk (P0), 80% milk + 20% colostrum (P1), 60% milk + 40% colostrum (P3), 40% milk + 60% colostrum (P4), 80% milk + 20% colostrum (P5), and 100% colostrum (P6). Fermentation was allowed under room temperature for 24 hours. The characteristics observed were color values, viscosity, pH, water holding capacity (WHC), syneresis, and microstructure.

In kefir, lactic streptococci and lactobacilli counts were higher than that of yogurt. However, they weren’t affected from colostrum addition, statistically. This study showed that, colostrum, which contains antimicrobial substances (immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase, lysozyme and cytokines), don’t have an adverse effect on specific microbial floras of fermented dairy products such as yogurt and kefir. As a result, colostrum can be added to yogurt and kefir to increase their functional properties. ABBREVIATIONS LAB: Lactic Acid Bacteria; CFU: Colony-Forming Unit microorganisms. Lysozyme is a potent antimicrobial enzyme but, INTRODUCTION in contrast to human milk, the concentration in bovine milk and colostrum is probably too low to significantly contribute to the overall bacteriostatic and bactericidal activity [3].

This study was intended to investigate microbiological and chemical properties of the kefir prepared of Bali Cattle milk and Indonesian kefir grains after 24, 48 and 72 hours incubation periods. A completely randomized design, with 3 treatments, and 9 replicates were undertaken. Kefir samples were taken at the end of incubation period for determination of total lactic acid bacterial and yeast counts, pH, titratable acidity, lactose percentage and protein content. The result of this research showed that the total lactic acid bacterial counts were 10 8 – 10 9 cfu/ml, while yeast counts were ranging from 10 5 – 10 6 cfu/ml, no coliform and Escherichia coli were detected in any kefir samples in this research. Identification of the lactic acid bacteria and yeast revealed that the Lactobacillus paracasei ssp. paracasei 1 was the predominant species found in the kefir samples, followed by Lactobacillus brevis and the yeast Candida famata .

Milk kefir grains are white or yellow semi-hard granules, like pieces of coral or small clumps of cauliflower florets with diameter from 3 to 20 mm. Milk kefir grains are obtained from the fermentation of milk in a goat-hide bag. Exopolysaccharide, protein, fat, and cellular debris form a matrix of kefir grains for probiotic cultures.

Fresh milk and colostrum have different characteristics. In this research, colostrum was used as additional material in kefir production which could affect the chemical, microbiological, and antimicrobial properties of final the product. This study was aimed to investigate the chemical and microbiology properties of kefir prepared from milk, colostrum and milk-colostrum mixes. Kefir was prepared by adding kefir grains to 100% fresh milk, milk-colostrum mixes (20:80%; 40:60%; 60:40%; 80:20%) and 100% colostrum. Fermentation was allowed under room temperature for 24 hours. Results showed that all treatments produced kefir with relatively similar titrable acidity, free fatty acids, and fat contents. The highest levels of ethanol, total solids and protein content were observed in kefir produced from 100% colostrum. The average total microbes were 6.37 – 7.51 log CFU/ml; 7.04-8.23 log CFU/ml bacteria; 6.92-7.48 log CFU/ml LAB and 5.54-6.55 log CFU/ml yeast. Water activity values ranged from 0.85 to 0.89. The highest microbial and antimicrobial properties were shown by kefir produced from milk-colostrum mix of 20:80%. Keywords: colostrum; kefir; cow milk. Practical Application: The addition of colostrum to the milk before fermentation improves the quality characteristics of milk kefir.
