Popis: Color is important for the consumer when making a purchase decision. Mare&rsquo
s milk and, thus, fermented mare&rsquo
s milk is little known to consumers. Thus, it is worth presenting research showing the extent of color change during the production and storage of mare&rsquo
s milk. Herein, we examined the range of color changes in mare&rsquo
s milk and cow&rsquo
s milks adapted to mare&rsquo
s milk composition. These samples were further fermented and stored for 3 weeks at 5 ±
1 °
C. Starter cultures containing Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus were used for fermentation. Mare&rsquo
s milk reached the required pH of 4.5 during fermentation faster (255 min) than cow&rsquo
s milk (300 min). After fermentation, mare&rsquo
s milk compared to cow&rsquo
s milk and adapted cow&rsquo
s milk had lower titratable acidity (0.75%) and firmness (145. 6 |(g∙s)|). The water holding capacity (95.6%) and number of Lactobacillus (7.71 log CFU/mL) and Streptocococcus (7.20 log CFU/mL) in mare&rsquo
s and other&rsquo
s milks were the same. Mare&rsquo
s milk was furthest from the ideal white (WI) color, with its chrome (C*) being 1.5-times larger than cow&rsquo
s milk. However, fermented mare&rsquo
s milk was darker than the fermented adapted milk and cow&rsquo
s milk by 36% and 58%, respectively. Storage caused a decrease in the WI, C*, and yellowness index (YI). The fermented mare&rsquo
s milk color stability during production and storage was less than that of fermented cow&rsquo
s milk. After 3 weeks storage, it was observed that the titratable acidity increased to 1.05%, and the pH decreased to 4.3 in fermented mare&rsquo
s milk. The water holding capacity decreased but was still higher compared to fermented cow&rsquo
s milk.
