Summary

The high buffering capacity of yogurt retarded the normal yoghurt pH decrease during storage, resulting in improved survival of viable bacteria. Addition of whey protein concentrate produced a yogurt with high buffering capacity in low pH and a low buffering capacity in high pH. The high buffering capacity in low pH will protect culture bacteria as well as their beta-galactosidase enzyme activity from hostile acidic conditions in the stomach.
