This study was conducted in order to prolong the period of validity of
yoghurt by adding 5, 10 and 15 g/1 of carrot juice liter during the storage
period of 35 days at 4±°C and 10±1 °C and determine some of the microbial،
chemical and sensory char
acteristics of yoghurt after 1, 7, 14, 21, 28 and 35
days of storage. The results indicated that the vital force had lasted for 7 days
in control samples and 28 days and 35 for samples containing 5, 10 g or 15 g
carrot juice, respectively when stored at 4±1 °C. No significant differences were
observed when samples stored at 10±1 °C. The results also indicated that the
sensory properties of yoghurt containing 5g of the carrot juice were more
favorably than those containing higher proportions due to the absence of taste
and color of carrot juice in the samples. it was also shown the addition of carrot
juice did not affect the pH levels and sensory property values during storage.
Furthermore، shelf-life did not exceed more than 7 days in control samples
while it lasted up to 35 days in yoghurt samples containing carrot juice.
This study was conducted to prolong the period of validity of diluted
yoghurt by adding 0.5g, 0.75g and 1g of garlic per 1liter milk during the
storage period of 50 days at 4 ± 1C °and 10 ± 1C°. Some of microbial, chemical
and sensory parameters o
f yoghurt were identified on weekly bases from 1 till
49 days of the storage period. Results indicated that the vital force as a
microbial parameter was lasted for 7 days in the control samples while it was
lasted with for 35, 42, and 49 days for the samples containing 0.5, 0.75 and 1g
of garlic, respectively when samples stored at 4±1C°. There were no significant
differences in the vital force between control and treated samples when they
stored at 10±1C°. Sensory properties of diluted yoghurt were more favorable in
samples containing 0.5g of garlic (absence of taste and smell of garlic) in
comparison with control samples or with samples containing higher
proportions of garlic. Results also indicated that adding garlic did not affect
either the pH of diluted yoghurt or the values of its sensory properties during
storage periods and increased the safety of consumption up to 49 days of
storage while this safety did not extend behind 7 days in control samples. It was
concludes that adding garlic by 0.5 g/ liter of diluted yoghurt can increase its
shelf life for 49 days.
The study was conducted on winter date (15th of Febraury), during 2015 and
2016 seasons, to study the effect of spraying calcium chloride CaCl2
concentrations (2, 4, and 6%), on the manufacture traits assigned in randomized
completely block design (RCBD) with four replicates.
