Sensory evaluation of ovine milk yoghurt with inulin addition

The purpose of this study was to elaborate prebiotic yoghurt using ovine milk and different inulin concentrations (0, 2 and 6%). Samples were submitted to laboratory analysis and two sensory tests with 100 consumers. The results of apparent viscosity and firmness determined by instrumental analysis of each yoghurt and control differed significantly. Just‐About‐Right showed consistency as the main attribute that varied in treatments. According to penalty analysis, prebiotic yoghurt containing 6% inulin had minor penalties, which indicates its advantage in the quest to better consumer demands. Hence, this treatment demonstrated better results as well as the many prebiotic benefits associated with an adequate fibre amount.
