Abstract

The probiotic product CĂTINOLACT was prepared from cow milk and medicinal plant extracts – sea-buckthorn and liquorice – using a mixed thermophilic culture of probiotic bacteria ABY 3 provided by the Chr. Hansen company, Copenhagen, Denmark. The probiotic dairy product CĂTINOLACT seeks to combine the favorable effects of probiotic bacteria and the therapeutic virtues of the medicinal plants.
The aim of this study was to characterize the probiotic CĂTINOLACT product from a sensorial and rheological point of view. The new product thus obtained was evaluated by panelists (especially the taste, the appearance and the mouthfeel sensation) and the rheological measurements showed that the CĂTINOLACT product is a non-newtonian fluid with time-independent characteristics.
