Production Of A Probiotic Fruit Drink From Tiger Nut (Cyperus Esculentus)
ABSTRACT
Yoghurt was produced from tiger
nut milk [Cyperus esculentus] by fermentation using starter culture of
Lactobacillus bulgaricus at 37°Cfor l2hours and analysed for its microbial
quality, chemical qualities, which included pH, Titratable acidity and sugar
contents. The results obtained showed that the pH of the various product ranged
from 5.82 to 5.13, after l2hours of fermentation and from 5.13 to 4.72,
Titratable acidity [lactic acid] from 0.2-0.55, and sugar content from
18.5-6.0%. The microbial load increased after l2hours of fermentation within
6days of storage at 4°C. This study has shown that is fessible to prepare
acceptable yoghurt like product from tiger nut which is of economic and public
health significance. Hence tiger nut is relatively cheap and could serve as a
good alternative to cow milk in the production of yoghurt.
