Abstract
The objective of this research was to determine the fermentation and quality properties of soy yogurt incorporating insoluble components fermented with Streptococcus thermophilus (S. thermophilus) and Lactobacillus bulgaricus (L. bulgaricus) for 24h. Boiled soybeans were ground and reconstituted into equivalent total solids (18%). After soymilk was homogenized with sugar, it was pasteurized in a water bath at 90℃ for 30 min. Two kinds of lactic acid bacteria were inoculated into two types of soymilk after cooling down 40∼45℃ and fermentation at 37℃ for 24h. Titrable acidity, pH, viscosity, sugar content, and number of viable cells were determined in triplicate. Soy yogurt fermented with L. bulgaricus did not reach pH 4.5, where as S. thermophilus was considered good for achieving pH 4.08 and titratable acidity of 2.27% for 24 h. Soy yogurt fermented with S. thermophilus had a higher viscosity and lower sugar contents than that fermented with L. bulgaricusas incubation time increased. Total viable count was 1.80 × 1010 CFU/mL on S. thermophilus and 2.16 × 108 CFU/mL on L. bulgaricus after 24 h at 37℃. However, there was no significant difference in sensory intensities and preference between the two samples. As a result, S. thermophilus was identified as a better culture than L. bulgaricus for the manufacture of soy yogurt incorporating insoluble components.
