Abstract

We report here for the first time variations in the viability and biochemical activity of dahi and yoghurt cultures, when grown together with therapeutic cultures, such as Lactobacillus acidophilus I and Bifidobacterium bifidum R, in buffalo skim milk. Nearly one log reduction in mesophilic lactic count was observed in dahi supplemented with probiotic cultures after 18 h of incubation at 30 °C. Associative growth increased the titratable acidity (TA) of dahi marginally (from 0.93 to 1.18 % lactic acid) but reduced the TA in yoghurt (from 1.68 to 1.44 % lactic acid). Probiotic culture supplementation reduced volatile acidity (VA) (from 36.0 to 15.8 ml) and diacetyl (from 4.05 to 2.80 ppm) and tyrosine (from 0.46 to 0.36 μg tyrosine/g curd ) content in dahi, whereas it increased VA (from 8.2 to 8.6 ml of 0.01 % NaoH/50 g) and acetaldehyde (from 28.4 to 34.6 ppm) production in yoghurt. Based on these results, the associative growth had no effect on proteolytic activity of probiotic yoghurt.
