Probiotic Yogurt Fortified with Chickpea Flour: Physico-Chemical Properties and Probiotic Survival during Storage and Simulated Gastrointestinal Transit

In the present study, probiotic yogurt with <i>Lactobacillus acidophilus</i> LA5 and <i>Bifidobacterium</i> BB12 was produced via fortification with chickpea flour (0, 1, 2.5, 5% <i>w/v</i>). During refrigerated storage for five weeks, probiotics maintained a viab...

description In the present study, probiotic yogurt with <i>Lactobacillus acidophilus</i> LA5 and <i>Bifidobacterium</i> BB12 was produced via fortification with chickpea flour (0, 1, 2.5, 5% <i>w/v</i>). During refrigerated storage for five weeks, probiotics maintained a viable count above the minimum therapeutic level (10<sup>6</sup> CFU/g) in all yogurt types. Although there was no significant (<i>p</i> > 0.05) positive effect of chickpea flour on probiotic viability during storage, the addition of chickpea flour has beneficial effects on the viability of both probiotic species in the presence of gastric and intestinal juices, with 0.3% bile. This study also evaluated the physio-chemical properties of probiotic yogurt during storage. Some physicochemical properties of yogurt, such as water holding capacity and susceptibility to syneresis, were enhanced by the addition of chickpea flour. Hence, chickpea flour could be an attractive pulse ingredient in the production of probiotic yogurts for health-conscious consumers.
