Abstract
This study aimed to produce new natural products from buttermilk supplemented with probiotic and Red beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.). Red beetroot (RBR) used as a health-promoting ingredient containing vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fibres. Naturally, fermented buttermilk beverage were prepared by adding different levels of (RBR) puree (0,5, 10, and 15% v/v), 2% sugar and 0.15% CMC. Buttermilk fortified with (RBR) puree was characterized by increasing values of total carbohydrate, fibre, viscosity, total phenol compounds (PC), antioxidant activity%, Flow time and organoleptic properties. also, it was found suitable to support the growth of probiotic strains, namely: Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Streptococcus thermophilus. While the values of pH, whey syneresis, total bacterial count, moulds & yeast count were increased. All treatments were organoleptically acceptable and the buttermilk containing 10% (RBR) showed superior sensory properties compared to the control followed by that containing 15% (RBR). Successfully natural beverage prepared from buttermilk supplemented with (RBR) characterized by high nutritional value, high acceptability and could be used as formulate synbiotic dairy drinks.
