Mold-ripened cheeses exhibit complex mechanical behavior, influenced by factors such as degree of ripening, water content, fat and type mold (white or blue). This study explored the viscoelastic behavior four types mold-ripened to highlight their physicochemical properties, taking into consideration that viscoelasticity influences texture, stability during storage processing. Analyzing local pressures applied cheese samples, for a contact surface with samples approximately 51.5 mm², pressure...

In this study, three types of extracts isolated from leaves Plantain (Plantago lanceolata) were tested for their chemical content and biological activities. The bioproducts are combinations polysaccharides polyphenols (flavonoids iridoidic compounds), they antioxidant, antifungal, antitumor, prebiotic activity (particularly fraction). Briefly, the iridoid-enriched fraction has revealed a pro-oxidant activity, while flavonoid-enriched had high antioxidant potency; polysaccharide also...

Various types of functional yogurts were obtained from normalized milk (with lipid content) and a standardized probiotic consortium bacteria named ABY3. All the contained prebiotics black or red rice; malt barley, rye, wheat; wheat bran. The physico-chemical analyses all functionalized products showed that them met quality standard for yogurt products. However, sensorial rice very good quality. biological indicated live bacteria, but bran could increase their numbers. Tests performed on...
