Abstrakt: The aim of the study was to determine the potential of using buttermilk and skimmed milk powders as additives to standardize the dry matter content of milk in the production of low-fat yoghurt. A batch of yoghurt was produced using a starter culture of Lactobacillus delbruecki ssp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. The rates of milk acidification and pH levels were similar for both variants of yoghurt. After chilled storage (21 days), the yoghurt produced from milk supplemented with buttermilk powder was found to contain higher (P ≤ 0.05) levels of lactic acid (1.179%) than that supplemented with skimmed milk (1.154%). The use of buttermilk powder allowed reducing (not significantly, P > 0.05) syneresis in the stored yoghurt. The milk fat in the buttermilk–supplemented yoghurt showed lower (P ≤ 0.05) phospholipids content and exhibited slightly higher phospholipids loss during storage than the yoghurt produced from milk with addition of milk powder. No differences were found between the profile of fatty acids between the yoghurts enriched with skimmed milk powder and those enriched with buttermilk powder. Buttermilk can be used as an additive to produce a novel yoghurt type with modified functional features. Research Highlights: The use of buttermilk powder did not affect fermentation process, however increased lactic acid content and water-holding capacity of yoghurt. The yoghurts with added buttermilk contained less phospholipids when compared with yoghurts supplemented with milk powder. Buttermilk powder can be incorporated as an ingredient in production of novel yoghurt type with improved functional features. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
