Introduction: Yogurt is a functional food that has health benefits. The study aimed to analyze the physicochemical characteristics of goat’s milk yogurt after adding Syzygium cumini L. Methods: Syzygium cumini L extract was mixed into goat’s milk and starter (Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus) and then fermented at 250C for 24 hours. The samples were divided into 4 treatment groups, namely differences in the concentration level of the addition of Syzygium cumini L (0%, 20%, 40%, 60%). The pH levels were analyzed by pH meter, lactic acid levels by acid-base titration method, and dietary fiber content by enzymatic gravimetric method. Results: The results showed that the pH level without adding Syzygium cumini L was 4.81 while Syzygium cumini L decreased by 0.5-0.8 to become more acidic. Meanwhile, the addition of Syzygium cumini L increased the lactic acid level by 4.82% by 0.2-0.5%. Dietary fiber content increased from 2% to 2.10% with the addition of 60% Syzygium cumini L. This study showed a difference in the chemical characteristics of pH, lactic acid, and dietary fiber between goat’s milk yogurt before and after the addition of Syzygium cumini L. Conclusion: This study has identified a significant difference in characteristic physicochemical on pH level, lactic acid level, and dietary fiber content between goat’s milk yogurt before and after the addition of Syzygium cumini L.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
