BACKGROUNDThe aim of this study was to investigate the effects on some physicochemical properties and starter cultures of yogurts enriched with vitamins at different concentrations during storage. For this purpose, yogurt was produced by adding vitamins‐ folic acid (B9), biotin (B7), and vitamin D3‐ in different concentrations to sheep and cow milk, and stored at 4 °C. Physicochemical analyses and microbiological analyses were performed for each group of yogurt on days 0, 7, 14, and 21.RESULTSThere was no significant difference (P> 0.05) between the groups in pH and titration acidity (%) during storage. It was determined that in the yogurts produced from sheep milk, the groups enriched with vitamins had a higher number of L. bulgaricus than the control group on the 7th day of storage. Moreover, the groups containing vitamin D3 exhibited a higher L. bulgaricus count on the 21st day of storage. The highest L. bulgaricus counts on the 7th day in yogurts produced from cow's milk were observed in groups containing 0.5 mL of vitamin B9 and B7. No mold or yeast growth was observed during storage in any of the yogurt groups made from cow and sheep milk.CONCLUSIONIn conclusion, it was determined that the enrichment of yogurt with vitamins B7, B9, and D3 did not adversely affect the quality of the yogurt; rather, it improved it. We recommend that yogurt enriched with micronutrients be studied economically, and mass production should be initiated by yogurt companies as soon as possible.This article is protected by copyright.
