On the basis of the conducted studies we can state that
there is a possibility of adding beta-glucan from spent brewers
yeast to yoghurt, at a level significant from the nutritional
point of view. The yoghurt with sensorically-accepted level
of beta-glucan from spent brewer’s yeast provides 0.7 g of beta-
glucan in a 250-g portion. Therefore this product might be
considered as having health-promoting properties.
CONCLUSIONS
1. The addition of native beta-glucan from spent brewer’s
yeast to yoghurts was found to determine their sensory quality.
2. An addition of beta-glucan from spent brewer’s yeast
to yoghurts at a level of 0.3 g/100 g seems to be acceptable
and does not change significantly their sensory quality and
structure stability during storage.
3. The yoghurt containing 0.3% beta-glucan from spent
brewer’s yeast provides 0.7 g of beta-glucan in a 250-g portion.
Therefore this product might be considered as having
health-promoting properties.
