					Abstract

					Abstract: This study aimed to assess the effects of aqueous cardamom extract on chemical and sensory qualities of yogurt fortified with cardamom extract. Four different concentrations of cardamom extract (100, 150, 200, and 250 μg.L-1) were incorporated into yogurt, along with a control group without adding cardamom. The moisture content, total protein, carbohydrates, pH, peroxide value, and sensory properties (taste, flavor, and smell) were evaluated. The results show that cardamom extract had no significant effect on the moisture, protein, or carbohydrate content of yoghurt when compared to the control. However, a drop in lipid, pH and peroxide value was seen in cardamom-fortified yoghurt, indicating enhanced lipid quality. Treatments supplemented with 200 and 250 μg.L-1 of extract showed the highest sensory scores. Overall, this study suggests that aqueous cardamom extract holds promise as a functional ingredient to improve yogurt quality and sensory qualities, potentially providing health benefits to consumers. 

Background: Yogurt is typically processed from cream, milk, or partially or completely skimmed milk, and may include additional ingredients such as vitamins, skimmed milk powder, lactose, lactalbumin, lactoglobulin, or modified whey. Cardamom encompasses two plant varieties, Elettaria and Amomum, belonging to the ginger family. These types are triangular in cross-section, bear seeds in bundles, and possess a thin outer membrane encasing black seeds. Whole milk yogurt was fortified with four different concentrations of aqueous cardamom extract. A control group of plain whole milk yogurt without additives was also prepared. The chemical and sensory properties of yogurt types were analyzed immediately after manufacturing and storage for 1, 3 and 7 days at 5 ±1 °C. 

Objective: This study aimed to explore the effects of aqueous cardamom extract on chemical and sensory qualities, which are critical for functional foods, of functional yogurt made from raw, whole cow's milk. Four concentrations (100, 150, 200, and 250 μg.L-1)  of cardamom extract were incorporated into yogurt, along with a control group without added cardamom. The moisture content, total protein, carbohydrates, pH, peroxide value, and sensory properties (taste, flavor, and smell) were evaluated.  

 Materials and Methods: Raw, whole cow's milk was used to make yogurt production in the laboratory. Five kilograms of raw, full-fat cow's milk was heated for 10 minutes at 90 °C, then cooled to 42 °C and divided into two parts. The first was divided into four fractions, each receiving a different concentration of cardamom extract: 100, 150, 200, and 250 μg/L, representing treatments T1, T2, T3, and T4, respectively. The second part remained untreated and served as the control treatment (C) for yogurt production.
