Research of Opportunities of Using Whey İn Kefir
Abstract
Whey is a byproduct produced in the process of making cheese, which, in turn, comprises a major element of dairy industry. The present study aims to come up with new areas of use for whey. For this purpose, the use of whey in making kefir, which is a probiotic dairy product. Milk is subjected to fermentation after the addition of 2% kefir base, and various amounts of whey. Group A (containing 25% whey), Group B (containing 50% whey), Group C (containing 75% whey) and Group K which does not contain any whey are the four groups analyzed in the study. The groups were analyzed in terms of their physico-chemical characteristics (pH, titration acidity, dry matter, color, viscosity), microbiological characteristics (lactococ spp. (log kob/ml), lactobacil spp. (log kob/ml), base (log kob/ml), total aerobic mesophyll bacteria count (log kob/ml)) and sensory characteristics (look, texture, smell and taste), on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 14th, and 30th days of storage at +4°C. In kefir samples thus analyzed, increasing amounts of whey were found to have a significant (p<0.05) effect on fat (%), viscosity (cp), color (L*, a* and b*), lactic acid bacteria and base counts (log kob/ml), whereas its impact on total mesophyll aerobic bacteria count (log kob/ml), pH, acidity (LA), dry matter (%) and sensory characteristics was insignificant (p>0.05). In terms of physical, chemical and microbiological analysis results, all groups were found to exhibit acceptable features, whereas group C was not found to be acceptable in terms of its sensory characteristics.
