This document is the protocol for this work, and sets out how YHEC will approach this task and its constituent tasks. 1.1 DEFINING YOGHURT The Codex Alimentarius international food standards define yoghurt as a form of fermented milk that contains symbiotic cultures of Streptococcus thermophiles and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. Bulgaricus. To be called a yoghurt a fermented milk product must contain milk protein, milk fat, lactic acid, ethanol, microorganisms and yeasts in the proper proportions (Table 1)(1). Probiotic yogurt is differentiated from conventional yoghurt through the addition of further strains of probiotic bacteria (2). This review focuses on the effectiveness of yoghurt containing the symbiotic cultures Streptococcus thermophiles and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. Bulgaricus, as defined by the Codex Alimentarius.

The beneficial health effects of yoghurt have been the subject of investigation for over a century. A range of research designs have been employed in the construction of an international evidence base, including observational studies and experimental studies (3, 4). The efficacy of yoghurt has been investigated in relation to a wide range of separate and Section 1 2 overlapping outcomes including weight management (5), type 2 diabetes (6), cardio-vascular disease risk (7), bone health (8), dental health (9), the risk of various forms of cancer (10), gastro-intestinal health (11), diarrhoea symptoms (12), lactose intolerance (13), malnutrition (14), immunological parameters(15), and overall mortality (16). Meta-analyses and systematic reviews have been conducted in relation to only a few of these outcomes. Their limited results suggest that consuming yoghurt may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes (17-19), but may have no effect on the risk of developing colorectal cancer (20), hypertension (21) or on overall mortality (22). In recent years considerable attention has been paid to understanding the health benefits of probiotic yoghurts, with increasing numbers of systematic reviews having been conducted in this area. DII now wish to conduct a systematic review of the effect of standard yoghurt consumption on outcomes related to weight management. There is particular interest in identifying data for specific subgroups of the general apparently healthy adult population, such as those at risk of diabetes, and for investigating the effects in different ethnic groups. Section 1 3 Section 2: Objectives The objective of this project is to produce a systematic review of the effect of standard yoghurt consumption on weight management outcomes. Section 2 4 Section 3: Methods A systematic review involves the systematic and transparent identification, selection, extraction and synthesis of studies relevant to the research question (23). The first stage of this protocol is to define the research question and the inclusion and exclusion criteria (Table 3.1). 3.1 RESEARCH QUESTION To be included in the systematic review, studies must meet all of the following inclusion criteria. 3.1.1 Study types Relevant comparative studies will be limited to the following study types: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) including quasi-RCTs; Controlled clinical trials; Comparative observational studies (including cross sectional studies, cohort studies and case control studies). Studies with relevant comparative designs published as abstracts, conference presentations or unpublished reports will be included in the review if they report all items from Section 3.1. Trial protocols, where the study results have not yet been reported, will be noted in a table of forthcoming studies. We will examine any relevant systematic reviews of evidence on the effects of yoghurt on weight management outcomes to identify any additional studies that might be eligible to be included in the systematic review. The following non-comparative study designs will not be eligible for inclusion: Case reports; Case series. Letters, comments and editorials and studies not published in English will not be eligible for inclusion in the systematic review. 3.1.2 Participants To be included in the review eligible studies will examine the effects of yoghurt on weight management in the apparently healthy adult population (18-65 years). Studies that contain a Section 3 5 mixed population with a proportion of the population aged over 65 years of age or younger than 18 will be treated as eligible if there are separate results presented for the 18-65 age group. Studies that contain a mixed population with a proportion of the population aged over 65 years of age will be treated as eligible, if there is a total of 20% or less of the study population who are either aged 65 or younger than 18 years of age. Studies reporting data for specific subgroups of the general population who are at high risk will also be eligible, for example people with insulin resistance, diabetes or obesity (BMI between 30 and 40). Studies only examining the effects of yoghurt on weight management in the following populations will be excluded: Study populations comprising only people with severe or morbid obesity (BMI ≥40.00)1; Study populations with a single specific disease or symptom such as anaemia, which are not representative of the apparently healthy general population; People training for or undertaking physical activity at a professional level (e.g. professional sports people, soldiers or fire service personnel); Any animal population; In vitro studies; Studies using technologies that mimic stomachs. 3.1.3 Interventions Studies eligible for inclusion in this review will include the following interventions: Yoghurt, or any of its synonyms (Yogurt; Yoghourt; Yaourt; Joghurt; Yogourt; Yaghourt; Yahourth; Yoghurd; Joghourt; Jogourt; Maas (Amasi); Dahi; Doi; Perugu; Thayir; Mosaru; Curd; Matsun; Matsoon; Matsoun; Matxoun; Madzoon; Madzoun; Mancun; Matson; Matsoni; Dadiah; Dadih; Stragisto). Studies will not be eligible for inclusion where yoghurt is featured as an intervention in combination with another substance (e.g. CLA/vitamins/Olibra) which is the main focus of the study. In those studies, yoghurt is being used as a carrier substance for an active ingredient and hence is not the focus of the investigation. Studies reporting the following interventions will not be eligible for inclusion: Probiotic yoghurt; Fermented milk, kefir and kumys; 1 World Health Organiszation. Global database on body mass index [web page]. Geneva: WHO; 2014. http://apps.who.int/bmi/index.jsp?introPage=intro_3.html Section 3 6 Fermented baby formula; Milk. For the purposes of this review, yoghurt which is reported to contain any bacteria other than Streptococcus thermophilius and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. Bulgaricus will not be eligible for inclusion. Only studies reporting oral consumption of yoghurt will be eligible for inclusion in the review. Topical application of yoghurt as an intervention will not be eligible for inclusion. 3.1.4 Comparators Eligible studies must compare yoghurt with one or more of the following interventions:

Curd/yoghurt may be viewed as a natural healing food supplement. It has a perfect balance of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals and vitamins. It is like a benediction from our ancestors. Curd as such is easy to digest but, when combined with sugar, pepper, vegetables and/or fruits make a delicious dish. Curd has been designated as functional food, which boosts natural as well as acquired immunity and improves stamina. It offers beneficial and healthy micro flora to the alimentary canal through diet being the richest source of probiotics without any risk of adverse effects. It is used for treating various illnesses like allergy, urinogenital infections, HIV, cancer, Helicobacter pylori infection, liver disease, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), pancreatitis, diabetes, insomnia and hypercholesterolemia. In addition to this, curd enhances the life span of a person and prevents premature ageing. Moreover, it promotes the secretion of hormones and helps the kidneys in detoxification of blood. Curd makes a favorite dish liked equally by the young as well as elderly members of the family, because of its easy availability and ample of health benefits.

  • Characterization and Comparison of Soy Milk and Buffalo Milk Based Synbiotic Product
    RESEARCH PAPER J. Food Sci. Technol. Nepal, Vol. 8 (23-29 ) 2013 ISSN: 1816-0727 Characterization and Comparison of Soy Milk and Buffalo Milk Based Synbiotic Product TIKA KARKI*, SHILVA SHRESTHA, BINITA BOHARA and UJWAL JYAKHWA Department of Biotechnology, School of Science, Kathmandu University, Dhulikhel, Nepal *Corresponding author: [email protected] Today consumers prefer foods that not only provide basic nutrition but also contain compounds that confer health benefits. Among the functional food,synbiotic products are showing a promising future. Soy based synbiotic products using different probiotics: A1B and MgA (lactobacillus strains) and L.rhamanosus ATCC 9595 and prebiotics: lactulose, sunfibre and inulin were prepared and its antiradical activities along with other characteristics were studied. The study also aimed to determine the most suitable prebiotics and probiotics. Furthermore, the prebiotics and the organisms were also cultured in buffalo milk to compare its properties with synbiotic soy yoghurt. Synbiotic soy yoghurt showed highest anti-radical activity with % inhibition at the range of 41-45 % and the one with probiotic L.rhamnosus and prebiotic inulin was found to be the most suitable product. Keywords: Synbiotic, Probiotic, Prebiotic, Inulin, Anti-radical Introduction A synbiotic is a supplement that contains both a prebiotic Soy milk is very nutritive: it's a good source of high and a probiotic that work together to improve the quality proteins, isoflavones and B-vitamins. It is free of “friendly flora” of the human intestine. The main reason milk sugar (lactose) and is a good choice for people who for using a synbiotic is that a true probiotic, without its are lactose intolerant.

    Preface Nepal Food Scientists and Technologists Association (NEFOSTA) has been providing forum for discussion and exchange the ideas and views on research fi ndings in the fi eld of food science and technology among food scientists, technologists, students, food industrialists and other concerned stakeholders since its establishments in 1984 AD. As one of the major activities of this association, NEFOSTA jointly organized the National Conference on Food Science and Technology [Food Conference-2012] in association with the Department of Food Technology and Quality Control (DFTQC), and Central Campus of Technology (CCT) on 10-11 August, 2012 (26-27 Shrawan, 2069) in Kathmandu. It made us very much proud that the participation in the conference was signifi cant in numbers as well as the presented key note papers, research papers and posters were also very thought provoking and meaningful. Taking into account the views, suggestions and recommendations presented in different papers and views raised during the concluding session, the conference has made fi nal resolutions in the form of suggestions and recommendations. Those resolutions have already been published in the form of a booklet in both English and Nepali language. As per our commitment, we have also produced visualization of the conference in the form of CDs and proceedings, which are available in the NEFOSTA Resource Centre (NRC) as historical documents. After a very long gap of holding this type of mega events in the history of NEFOSTA, we succeeded to organize this event with the support of different agencies, individuals and our members. Considering the history of past such events, the conference has decided to name this event as the 6th of its series and so the next conference will be held as the 7th national level conference naming as “7th National Conference on Food Science and Technology [Food Conference - …..]”.
