Abstract
Evaluations of nutritive and microbiological significances of two conventional yoghurts are investigated in this study. Chemical components of the different yoghurt drinks showed the presence of: antioxidants of polyphenols and tannin; phytate, lectin, residual sugars and inhibitors of trypsin protein concentrations (mg/ml) of: 11.34, 10.14; 10.34, 11.21; 37.56, 38.77; 32.15, 30.28; 11.12, 8.92 and 11.58, 10.19, respectively. Total viable counts (TVC) of: 4.6 X 103 and 2.9 x 102 CFU/ml for the sample A and B yoghurt drinks respectively at day 0 of the microbial assessment were obtained. Coliform counts (CC) of 8.0 X 102, 7.8 x 103 and 1.3 X 103 CFU/ml were observed for the sample A and B yoghurt drinks respectively at day 0 of the microbial counting. Total fermenting of: 6.8 X 106, 5.33 x 105 and 5.6 X 104 CFU/ml were observed for the sample A and B yoghurt drinks respectively at day 0 of the counting. There was differential growth in the total population of the organisms as the day progresses from 0-14. Enterococci and airborne Bacilli were ubiquitous in the yoghurt drinks respectively. The present study has paved a way quality assurance of probiotics commonly sold within our metropolis and for upkeeping by nutritionist in maintaining stringent policies for manufacturing probiotics companies.
