Abstract

Yoghurt is a dairy product obtained by fermentation of milk using starter culture  Streptococcus thermophilus  and  Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus . Application of dietary fibre and iron salt fortification in the manufacture of yoghurt enhances its nutritive and therapeutic value. Oat ( Avena sativa ) is a cereal that contains soluble fibre - glucan renders several health benefits. In the present investigation, an attempt was made to develop iron salt fortified, cow milk and oat milk blended yoghurt and  in-vitro  bioavailability of the iron from the yoghurt was explored. The optimization of oat milk tried at different levels and was accepted  at 20%  level and fortification of cow milk - oat milk blended yoghurt with ferrous sulphate fortified at different levels and was accepted at 10mg. Experimental yoghurt samples tested for sensory, chemical parameters, microbiological test and  in-vitro  bio-availability. The yoghurt samples showed (12%) of iron was maximum bio-availability from yoghurt fortified with ferrous sulphate followed by control and cow milk-oat milk blended yoghurt showed 10.2% and 8.52% respectively. The bio-availability of iron was reduced due to interfere of dietary fibre in yoghurt.
