Effects of Purple-Fleshed Sweet Potato Lyophilized Powder on the Physicochemical Properties, Lactic Acid Bacteria Viability, Microstructure, and Textural Properties of Stirred Yogu... by Paulo Cezar da Cunha Júnior, Carlos Alberto Cruz Pinto, Jorge Manuel Alexandre Saraiva, Elisa Helena da Rocha Ferreira

“…The physical and chemical properties, color, monomeric anthocyanin content, lactic acid bacteria viability, water retention capacity, microstructure, and texture were evaluated for yogurts enriched with LP at the levels of 2% (YLP2), 4% (YLP4), and 6% (YPL6), stored for 30 days under refrigeration (4 °C). The results indicated that LP provided different intensities and shades of pink coloration to yogurt, in addition to increasing (<i>p</i> < 0.05) the water retention capacity and reducing the water activity. …”
