The present study reports the physicochemical, textural profile, microbial, antioxidant, and sensory characteristics of the produced yoghurt containing Aloe vera foliar gel. The result showed that syneresis was increased gradually with increase in Aloe vera foliar gel concentration during storage period. Aloe vera leaf gel had a negative effect on L. Acidophilus and B. lactis Bb‐12, but the viable cells were in the acceptable range according to FAO (106−107 CFU g−1). The flow behavior for all yoghurt samples was found the shear thinning behavior and after fitting with three models, it followed the Herschel–Bulkley model. The presence of Aloe vera gel in yoghurts had a negative impact on the textural properties and this effect was significant except for springiness and resilience. Our results confirm improvability and meaningfulness the antioxidant effects of yoghurt enriched with Aloe vera foliar gel by FRAP assay. Practical application The present study reports the physicochemical (pH, acidity, syneresis, viscosity, and flow behavior), textural profile (hardness, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, gumminess, chewiness, springiness, and resilience), microbial, antioxidant and sensory characteristics of the produced yoghurt from the Aloe Vera foliar gel. Produced yoghurts could be introduced as a good vehicle for probiotic bacteria and so, produced yoghurts from Aloe vera foliar gel have a good potential for commercial exploitation.

The milk along with xanthan at levels 0, 1.9, 3.9, 5.9, 7.9, 9.9 and 0.1 and 0.2% (No 1 (control) to 11 respectively) as egg replacement were used for preparation of mayonnaise. Creaming index, heat stability, physical stability and rheological properties of samples over a were investigated. Also flow behavior of samples were fitted to Power law, Herschel-Bulkley and Casson models. It was found that addition milk along with xanthan to mayonnaise protected from phase separation in comparison to control sample. All the samples had stability higher than 99% except samples 1, 4, 5 and 6. The highest stability was recorded for sample No 11 (99.98%) and the lowest for 5(74.95%) that compared with control sample had significant differences (p>0.05). All the samples except No 1 and 5 showed heat stability higher than 99 % and the highest stability recorded for No 11(99.72%) and the lowest for No 5(67.42 %) and in comparison with control were significantly different (p> 0.05). Apparent viscosity decreased with increase the egg replacement from 40% to 80%, as the highest and lowest viscosity observed in samples contain 100% and 80% replacement respectively. All samples showed shear-thinning behavior and the high coefficients of determination for Power law and Herschel-Bulkley models (0.99) revealed the adequacy of these rheological models to describe flow behavior of mayonnaise.

Stability is one of the key quality parameters of emulsion systems, which goes a long way in predicting the shelf life of emulsion products. In this study, the effect of emulsifier (soy protein concentrate (SPC) + maltodextrin (MDX)), dispersed phase (lycopene in oil solution) and homogenizer speed on emulsion stability were investigated and optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). Independent variables were lycopene content (10-20%, w/w), SPC+ MDX as emulsifier and surfactant (30-40%, w/w) and the homogenizer speed (14000-18000 rpm). Responses were droplet size, viscosity and creaming index as stability indicators of the emulsions. According to RSM analysis and models, optimized variables showed a good fit to quadratic equations for droplet size and viscosity with correlation coefficients (R 2) of 0.9571 and 0.9826, respectively. After model simplification with backward stepwise solution, the R 2 values for droplet size and viscosity decreased slightly to 0.9504 and 0.9826, respectively. Creaming values were fitted properly with linear model, and R 2 was 0.8030. Graphical optimization methods were adapted for preparing the best lycopene emulsifying conditions and were predicted to be: homogenizer speed of 18000 rpm; lycopene content of 20% w/w, and SPC+MDX concentration of 36.95% w/w.
