The quality of produced fermented milks was followed by comparing pH value during fermentation and storage time, as well as of lactic acid con- tent and sensory properties during 14 days of storage. Fermentation time was influenced more the type of the starter culture than by honeybee pollen addition or fat level. The addition of honeybee pollen increased the production of lactic acid, regardless of the fat level. The effects of different starters (L. acidophilus LA-5, S. thermophilus and L. Del- brueckii ssp. bulgaricus) on the production of lactic acid were also different, but not as obvious as that due to pollen addition. The obtained results revealed that honeybee addi- tion had positive effects on the physicochemical and sensory properties of produced aci- dophilus milk and probiotic yoghurt. KEY WORDS: acidophilus milk, probiotic yoghurt, honeybee pollen, physicochemical characteristics INTRODUCTION Among many fermented dairy products, the most notable fermented milks are yoghurt, kefir, kumiss, acidophilus milk, buttermilk, and Bulgarian buttermilk. Recently, acidophilus milk is becoming one of the most desirable natural products for human nutrition due to its beneficial health effects (1). Furthermore, Lactobacillus acidophilus is the most commonly suggested organism for dietary use. All these positive findings have emerged for the consumption of acidophilus milk. Traditional acidophilus milk is made from low-fat milk, sterilized at 120oC for 15 minutes to stimulate growth of L. acidophilus. The high-heat treatment of milk is used to denature and release peptides from milk proteins, which helps the growth of L. acidophilus, due to its lack of a good proteolytic system for hydrolyzing milk proteins (2). Original acidophilus milk is a highly acidic product with no balancing * Corresponding author: Jovana R.

However, because of its acidic flavour, most consumers do not generally relish it (3). Recently, honeybee pollen, as well as other apicultural products, has gained increased attention for its high nutritive value. Honeybee pollen is a rich source of protein (25%); essential amino acids; oil (6%), containing more than 51% polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), of which 39% of linolenic, 20% palmitic and 13% of linoleic acids; more than 12 vitamins; 28 minerals; 11 enzymes or co-enzymes; 11 carbohydrates (35-61%); flavonoids and carotenoids; phytosterols (4). Honeybee pollen was found to have therapeutic properti- es (5,6). It is considered a nutrient-rich perfect food, and is promoted as a commercially available supplement (7). In recent years, the physiological functionality of natural and functional foods has re- ceived much attention due to the increasing interest in human health. As far as we know, the use of honeybee pollen as a food supplement in dairy products is rare. Therefore, the objective of the present work was to investigate the influence of the honeybee addition and different starter culture (LA-5 and probiotic) on the physicochemical and sensory properties of fermented milk products manufactured from milk with different fat content (1%, 2.8% and 3.2% w/w fat) after the production and during 14 days of storage. EXPERIMENTAL Materials The following milk samples: 1) 3.2 % fat content (3.2% proteins, 4.6% lactose, poly- unsaturated fatty acids), obtained from „VITALIA, IMLEK“, d.d. Mlijekoprodukt (Ko- zarska Dubica, Bosnia and Herzegovina); 2) 2.8% fat content (3.4% proteins, 4.6% lacto- se pH 6.82 ±0.02), obtained from MEGGLE Mljekara d.o.o. (Bihać, Bosnia and Herzego- vina; 3) 1% fat content obtained from the "d.d. Varaždin" (Croatia) were used for the pro- duction of fermented milk. Physical, chemical and microbiological characteristics of milk samples were entirely in accordance with the pertinent standards. Probiotic monoculture Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-5 (Chr. Hansen, Denmark) was applied to achieve a con- centration of 0.05g/l (w/v) in manufacturing fermented milks. Probiotic yoghurt contai- ning: L.acidophilus LA-5 was made in combination with yoghurt starter culture YC-X16 (Streptococcus thermophilus and L. delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus, Chr. Hansen, Denmark) in the ratio of 4:1. Commercial polyfloral honeybee pollen (Prijedor, Bosnia and Herze- govina) was powdered and used in the concentration of 0.6% w/w in manufacturing both types of fermented milk products. Fermented milks manufacturing Milks with different fat content were heated at 95ºC for 10 min. The milk and bacteria mixture was incubated at 38ºC for 4 hours and the fermented milk formed was stored at 4ºC and used as a starter culture next day. Two series of yoghurt were made: 1) acidophi- lus milk (LA-5) without and with addition of honeybee pollen, and 2) probiotic yoghurts made with: LA-5 + yoghurt starter (YS) (LA-5 + YS-X16= 4:1), without and with pollen 46 APTEFF, 46, 1-269 (2015) UDC: 637.146.1/.3:638.178.2 DOI: 10.2298/APT1546045G BIBLID: 1450-7188 (2015) 46, 45-54 Original scientific paper addition. For each treatment, the pollen powder was dispersed in an aliquot of heat-trea- ted milk, and then mixed thoroughly with the remaining milk to achieve the desired con- centration. The milk was cooled to the optimal temperature (38oC), inoculated with the yoghurt starter-mother culture (50 ml) and incubated at the same temperature until pH 4.7 to 4.6 was reached. Fermentations were stopped by rapid cooling to 20oC and the fermen- ted milks were placed in a cold storage at 5oC ±1. Each trial was repeated three times. Methods After manufacturing, fermented milks were analyzed by measuring the pH value, lac- tic acid content and sensory properties. pH was measured using pH 510/mV Meter (Eu- tech Instruments, England) during fermentation and during 14 days of storage. Lactic acid content was calculated on the basic titratable acidity (8) during 14 days of storage. Sensory evaluation of yoghurt was profiled after the 1st and 14th day in the cold store. The sensory properties of yoghurt were evaluated by 5 trained panellists using the Internatio- nal Dairy Federation (IDF) method (9). The sensory attributes consisted of flavour, odo- ur, general appearance, colour and consistency, and the coefficients of significance (Fv) were: 2.4 for taste; 0.4 for odour; 0.2 for appearance and for colour and 0.8 for consisten- cy. Maximum score was 20, and the sensory scores were awarded for each attribute using a rating scale ranging between 1 and 5. The average value of 3 measurements was taken for further analysis. Values of different tests were expressed as the mean ± standard de- viation (x ± SD). All data were subjected to one-way ANOVA and means were compared by the Holm-Sidak test (SigmaPlot 11.0, Systat Software, Inc. USA). The level of signifi- cance was set at p < 0.05. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Fermentation of all produced samples lasted between 3 and 10 hours (Fig. 1). The shorter fermentation time (about 4 hours) resulted in probiotic yoghurt samples compa- rable to acidophilus milks, regardless of the milk fat content. The addition of honeybee pollen caused a slight decrease in the fermentation time of probiotic yoghurt samples made from milk with the highest fat content (Fig. 2A), probably due to the presence of various carbohydrates, mainly glucose, fructose and sucrose (4). However, the fermentation time was influenced more by different types of starter cul- ture than by honeybee pollen addition or fat levels. As is evident from Fig. 1A, acido- philus milks had the longest fermentation time (9-10 hours), regardless of different fat level. According to the results of Iancu et al. (10), the strain of L. delbrueckii ssp. bulga- ricus is faster than the other lactobacilli in producing lactic acid, so this could explain the observed shorter fermentation time of probiotic yoghurt samples. 47 APTEFF, 46, 1-269 (2015) UDC: 637.146.1/.3:638.178.2 DOI: 10.2298/APT1546045G BIBLID: 1450-7188 (2015) 46, 45-54 Original scientific paper A) 1% fat 7.0 LA-5 LA-5+pollen LA-5+YS 6.5 LA-5+YS+pollen 6.0 pH 5.5 5.0 4.5 0246810 time (hours) B) 2.8% fat 7.0 LA-5 LA-5 + pollen LA-5+ S 6.5 LA-5+YS +pollen 6.0 pH 5.5 5.0 4.5 0246810 time (hours) C) 3.2% fat 7.0 LA-5 LA-5+pollen 6.5 LA-5+YS LA-5+YS+pollen 6.0 pH 5.5 5.0 4.5 0246810 time (hours) Figure 1.

  • Fermented Milk Products Cheese Perhaps No Other Fermented Food
    1 Fermented milk products Cheese Perhaps no other fermented food starts with such a simple raw material and ends up with products having such an incredible diversity of color, flavor, texture, and appearance as does cheese. It is even more remarkable that milk, pale in color and bland in flavor, can be transformed into literally hundreds of different types of flavorful, colorful cheeses by manipulating just a few critical steps. How so many cheeses evolved from this simple process undoubtedly involved part trial and error, part luck, and plenty of art and skill. It is fair to assume that, until very recently, most cheese makers had only scant knowledge of science, and microbiology in particular. Now, however, it is likely that few fermented foods require such a blend of science, technology, and craftsmanship as does the making of cheese. On a volume basis, the cheese industry is the largest of all those involved in fermented foods manufacture. Of the 75 billion Kg (165 billion pounds) of milk produced in the United States in 2001, more than one-third was used in the manufacture of 3.7 billion Kg (8.1 billion pounds) of cheese. About a fourth of that cheese was used to make various types of processed cheese. On a per capita basis, cheese consumption in the United States has increased in the past twenty-five years from 8 Kg in 1980 to nearly 14 Kg (30.1 pounds) per person per year in 2003 (of U.S. made cheese).The most popular cheeses have been the American style (e.g., Cheddar, Colby) and Italian style (e.g., Mozzarella and pizza cheese) cheeses, accounting for 41.5% and 40.6%, respectively, of all cheeses consumed in the United States (Figure 5.1).

Tamime Review UDC: 637.146 Introduction Fresh fermented dairy products in general are the oldest milk products. In the early days they were home-made and served as basic food. The introduction of industrial food processing allowed great diversification and a large variety of products is now available to the consumer. The combination of milk, sweet or ifermented, with other foods, primarily with fruits and herbs, as well as the deve­ lopment of processes which led to prolongation of the shelf life for up to several months, contributed to the popularity, i.e. to the increase of consumption of these products. According to the latest survey of IDF (1) on the consumption of dairy products in the world, fermented milks are very popular and, with increasing health cons­ ciousness of consumers worldwide, new fermented milks are being developed. 'p, Fermented Products When considering the progress in the development of this group of dairy products, the most important step was the introduction of selected cultures in the production, leading to a more controlled quality of the final product. The great success and popularity, however, meaning also the possibility to make fermented milks available in almost every food store, has to be attributed to the progress of hygienic standards during production, of packaging material and filling machi­ nes, as well as the improvement of cooling chain during distribution. The latest progress in the science and technology of fermented milks has been reviewed in two very recent IDF monographs (3, 4).

MACANOVIĆ1 1University of East Sarajevo, Faculty of Technology Zvornik 2Paneuropean University of Banja Luka Apeiron Abstract: This paper analyzes the chemical composition and organoleptic properties of 5-made industrial products that are declared as “yogurt” with 2,8% fat and 5 products made by traditional technology, which are known as traditional products called “sour milk”. Tests were conducted to determine the differences between the two products (which are very similar), and attempt to execute the standardization of “sour milk” made according to traditional technology, and to deter- mine the acceptability of these products by consumers. Keywords: bio Introduction Traditional food plays an important role in the identifi cation of local communities, consumer behav- ior, transmission of cultural heritage to future generations, and the interaction of this heritage with the rest of the world (Albayrak and Gunes, 2010). In most countries, the promotion and protection of traditional products is channeled through the quality and policy of development of agriculture and food industry. Traditional food products can be protected through the application of relevant regulations. In this sense, traditional food is viewed from different angles: by manufacturer, by consumers and by marketing (Hani et al., 2003; Grujić and Grujić, 2011). Traditional products have become an important instrument of marketing approach of many countries in the world.

The aim of this study was to isolate and identify new potential probiotic lactobacilli from traditional Iran dairy products. The isolates were screened for their probiotic potential activities, including acid and bile resistance, antagonistic activity and cholesterol removal. Screening of acid and bile tolerant strains from 14 different samples led to the identification of 20 isolates of Lactobacillus spp. Most promising strains which assimilated more than 75% of the cholesterol in the medium and/or exhibited high inhibition value against pathogen identified based on 16S rDNA sequence. Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus brevis, Lactobacillus casei isolated from yogurt and cheese exhibited both high cholesterol assimilation and antagonist activity. These results suggested that, Iranian indigenous lactobacilli have potential as probiotics, and they might also be good candidates to be used as probiotic carrier or functional foods. Key words: Traditional dairy, probiotic, cholesterol assimilation, antagonist activity. INTRODUCTION The relationship between dairy foods and health effects life yogurt, kashk, could play a role in the selection of new has been investigated for many years (Heller, 2001).

  • How to Control Texture in Cultured Dairy
    Home By Phillip S. Tong December 1, 2011 The consumer can find a wide range of textures in fermented milk products. From drinkable to spoonable to spreadable – these foods are expected to exhibit textures of semi-solid gels, viscous liquids or thin liquids, depending upon the specific product (for example, fermented milk beverage, stirred yogurt, quark, etc.) and consumer expectations.Additionally, many fermented milk products must withstand mechanical shear (pumping and/or stirring) without any liquid separation. The foods almost always must have a smooth, creamy mouthfeel with or without milkfat in the formulation. And, don’t forget this rule: Thou shalt not be grainy! Because consumers in part select such products based on textural attributes, they will not tolerate significant texture variation. Hence, gaining a more complete understanding of those factors that can influence fermented milk product texture is the first step to achieving consistent control and delivery of desired textural attributes. To manufacture these products, we take a relatively stable protein, casein, and usually subject it to thermal processing and acidification via lactic fermentation to modify its structure, promote interactions with other proteins and create casein instability, which leads to its aggregation to form the gel matrix of most fermented milk systems. Once we have created a relatively delicate, unstable system, we try to fix this structure (stabilize it) and/or improve upon it to make desirable and lasting food textures consistent with the fermented milk product. The first step is forming a gel at or near pH 4.6 by fermentation. In products that are not fermented in the finished package, we then gently agitate the sample, add other ingredients (sometimes) and then package.
