| Popis: | Mulberry leaves are medicinal and edible, with many physiological functions. To improve the potential function of yogurt, the effects of mulberry leaf extract (MLE) incorporation on the fermentation kinetics, physicochemical, antioxidant properties, and sensory parameters of yogurt were evaluated. The results showed that 0.1–0.3 % MLE improved the acidification rate and shortened the fermentation process. The addition of MLE significantly increased the values of total titratable acids, water holding capacity (WHC), total phenolic content and antioxidant capacities of the yogurt (p＜0.05). Specifically, the WHC values of 0.1 % MLE added yogurt were 1.33–1.41 times that of the control over 21 days of storage. In addition, MLE changed the texture and sensory quality of yogurt, resulting in light green, more stable products. Compared to the control, the yogurt with an appropriate concentration of MLE (0.1 % and 0.2 %) showed stable microbiological properties, and the survival of lactic acid bacteria in the yogurt was able to maintain a stable probiotic count of 108 CFU/g over 21 days of shelf life. The yogurt containing 0.1 % MLE achieved a good balance between the physicochemical and sensory qualities of the yogurt, and the use of MLE as an ingredient in yogurt production was a step towards the development of healthier dairy products. |
