Abstract: The effect of exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by Bifidobacterium 22-5 on the character of yoghourt was studied in this paper. The results showed that 100mg/L EPS affect the livability little when the bacteria was under cold storage and traveled the simulated enteron. Bisides, 12.0g/L EPS can effectively improve the viscosity and acidity, but descreased the pH value, without remarkable change of water-binding capacity.

Key words: exopolysaccharide(EPS), yoghurt, livability, adversity, quality
