Effect of Storage Conditions on Sensorial Characteristics of a Kefir-Type Formula Containing Brewer’s Yeast During Shelf-Life
Abstract
A kefir-type formula containing brewer’s yeast was manufactured in the Pilot station of the University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca, Romania by inoculating 1.8% skimmed, pasteurized cow milk with an optimized innoculum of lactobacilli, kefir and brewer’s yeasts, as we have describe in our previous research paper (Păucean et al.,2010).In order to assess the effect of storage conditions during product shelf-life (1-21 days), we considered three storage conditions as affecting the sensorial characteristics of the studied product: freezing at (-10°C), refrigeration at 0-4°C and storage at room temperature 21-32°C.Authors who publish with this journal agree to the following terms:
