| dc.description.abstract | An attempt was made to incorporate condensed coconut water in partial replacement of MSNF at 25 and 50 per cent level in yoghurt and to study the properties of the product which were compared with normal yoghurt. An exhaustive review of literature on the various physico – chemical properties of yoghurt and other fermented milk products has been presented. The procedure for the analysis of coconut water and condensed coconut water for its chemical composition, mineral profile and method of condensation has been described. The quantity of ingredients for yoghurt preparation was derived by linear programming model. The treatments were divided into TC (control), T2 (25 per cent replacement of MSNF using condensed coconut water without gelatin), T3 (T2 + gelatin at 0.5 per cent level), T4 (50 per cent replacement of MSNF using condensed coconut water without gelatin) and T5 (T4 + 0.5 per cent gelatin). A pre – trial was conducted to find out the ideal combination of starter culture and gelatin to be added to give good quality yoghurt. A combination of four per cent starter culture with 0.5 per cent gelatin produced good quality yohurt and this combination was used in the subsequent trials. A pilot heat stability test was conducted in treatment mixes to find out the amount of trisodium citrate required to provide sufficient heat stability. Yoghurt mixes prepared were analysed for titratable acidity, pH and total solids. Statistical analysis revealed no significant difference between control and treatments for the above. No significant difference was observed in pH and fat between the control and treatments. A significant difference (P < 0.01) in titratable acidity, protein and NPN percentage was observed between control and treatments. The curd tension and viscosity showed a decreasing trend with increasing level of replacement but this properties improved to certain extent by addition of gelatin. The setting time and NPN content showed an increasing trend as replacement level increased and this may be due to high mineral and NPN content in coconut water. There was no significant difference in tyrosine value between the control and treatments T2 and T3. No significant difference was observed in L. bulgaricus count and coliform count between control and treatments, whereas but S. thermophiles and yeast and mould count showed significant difference between control and treatments which may be due to a stimulatory factor in coconut water for yeast and mould and inhibitory factor for S. thermophiles resulting in slow growth. Organoleptic quality revealed that 25 per cent replacement of MSNF with or without addition of gelatin produced comparable scores as that of control yoghurt. A savings of 13.95 per cent and 8.14 per cent in cost can be achieved by 25 per cent replacement of MSNF with or without addition of gelatin respectively. The results of the experiment revealed that 25 per cent replacement of MSNF with condensed coconut water can be successfully tried in preparing yoghurt without affecting the physic – chemical and organoleptic properties together with considerable reduction in cost. | en_US |
