Evaluation of labneh made from cows' milk and goats' milk using probiotic and exopolysaccharide producing bacteria [electronic resource].

Includes references.

Many lactic acid bacteria strains can biosynthesis exopolysaccharides (EPS) that are added to many types of food to enhance their rheological properties, the aim of this work was to manufacture low fat Labneh using mixture of cows and goats' milk with EPS - producing pro biotic starter. This starter consisted of Streptococcus thermophilus T A061, MR- 1C+ Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus MR-1R+ Bifidobacterium bifidum and Lactobacillus acidophilus. The results indicated that the use of these bacteria increased the yield, total solids and fat in dry matter of Labneh prepared from mixture of cow and goat's milk containing 1% fat (CG1). The experimental Labneh was ranked higher scoring points compared with Labneh made from goat's milk 3% fat (G) and made with the use of traditional starter.
