Analysis of the Quality and Structure
of Goat Milk Yogurt
The quality and structure of goat milk yogurt were
analyzed by the Texture Analyzer (TA. XT2i/50, Stable
Micro Systems Ltd., Godalming, UK). Samples of the
goat milk yogurt were placed on the platform of the
machine and then penetrated by a 35-mm-diameter A/
BE probe (Stable Micro Systems Ltd.). Samples were
tested by a trigger force of 5 × g at an acquisition rate
of 200 points per second. The test parameters were set
as follows: pretest speed = 1.0 mm/s; test speed =
1.0 mm/s; post-test speed = 1.0 mm/s. The penetration
distance was 30.0 mm. Three replications were
analyzed using separate repeat samples. The results
were expressed as firmness, cohesiveness, and index of
viscosity.
