Abstract:

To determine the shelf life of xylitol yoghurt, its quality changes during fermentation and storage were investigated. The results showed that the acidity and conductivity of the xylitol yoghurt rise but its pH value falls along with the increase of fermentation and storage time. The number of Lactobacillus, viscosity and sensory evaluation are the best on the third day of storage and then begin to descend after that. Its shelf life is 9 days and it is the best to be drunk in three days.

Key words: xylitol yoghurt, fermentation and storage process, quality change
