Optimization of spray dried yogurt and its application to prepare functional cookies

Abstract

IntroductionSpray-dried yogurt powder (SDYP) has shelf stability and other functional properties that improve solubility and facilitate the use, processing, packaging, and transportation of other food derivatives, such as bread and pastries on a large scale. The present research was conducted to develop SDYP and further its utilization to prepare functional cookies.MethodsYogurt was spray-dried by employing different outlet air temperatures (OAT) (65°C, 70°C & 75°C) and inlet air temperature (IAT) (150°C, 155°C & 160°C). Spray drying shows that increasing the temperature increases nutritional loss, whereas S. thermophilus culture shows resistance to the intensive heat approaches. On the other hand L. delbrueckii subsp. Bulgaricus culture was found to be significantly affected. A total of 4 treatments, including one control for the functional cookies development.Results and discussionA directly proportional relation was investigated between the increasing concentration of SDYP and baking characteristics and cookie's mineral and protein profile. Bioactive parameters like antioxidant activity of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl-hydrate (DPPH), 2,2′-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) and total phenolic content (TPC) were also affected significantly. The sensory profile shows an incline towards T0 (0% SDYP) to T3 (10% SDYP) in all attributes but starts to decline when the concentration of SDYP reaches 15%. This study suggests that by employing a certain combination of temperatures (OAT: 60°C IAT: 150°C); maximum survival of inoculated culture can be achieved, and this powder can be utilized in the development of functional cookies with enhanced sensory as well as biochemical characteristics significantly (P< 0.05).

Inhibitory effect of some probiotic strains and essential oils on the growth of some foodborne pathogens

“…Lactobacillus plantarum has an aggressive influence against food micro-organisms ( Tian et al , 2022 ). Finally, efficient foods or probiotic-supplemented food received more attention because of the awareness of healthy and beneficial products targeting good wellbeing ( Ali et al , 2023 ; Hussain et al ., 2023 ). The number of cells per milliliter and its therapeutic doses determine the probiotic potential ( Begum et al , 2017 ).…”

“…Drying probiotic cultures for industrial purposes reduces transportation costs and storage requirements [9]. Spray drying has attracted much attention because of its high yield, speed, and ease [10,11]. A hot, dry air flow is applied to a continuous liquid film to convert it into droplets [12].…”
