Abstract

This study aims at exploring the impact of fortification of stirred yogurts blended with banana purée with calcium lactate at 400, 600 and 800 mg/100 g on their physicochemical, rheological and microbiological properties during storage at 4°C for 14 days. Calcium fortification resulted in increased syneresis and reduced apparent viscosity. Storage modulus (G’) of yogurts decreased as the level of calcium fortification increased. These results suggested that the casein network in fortified stirred yogurts was weakened by fortification of calcium salt. Lactic acid bacteria counts decreased during storage. In this study, it was found that fortification of 400 mg calcium lactate/100 g resulted in a product with properties close to the non-fortified yogurt.            Keywords :  stirred yogurt, calcium fortification, rheology, banana purée
