The rheological and biotechnological parameters of yoghurt fermented with S. thermophilus IMV B-7249 strain immobilized in a hydrogel were evaluated. It was determined that the functional state of the culture immobilized in highly dispersed silica remained corresponded to the proper technological parameters of sour-milk yoghurt, and the effective viscosity and stability of the product increased. This makes it possible to recommend such a preparation for a use not only for enteral use but also for the production of fermented milk products. |
