ABSTRACT: Yogurt is defined as a coagulated milk product obtained from the fermentation of lactose into lactic acid. Drinking yogurt (laban) was prepared from buffalo milk, cow milk, and a 50:50 blend (cow + buffalo milks) by adding 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose to each of the 3 milk treatments. Samples were then refrigerated for 7, 14, and 21 d before determination of physical, microbial, and sensory parameters. Yogurt prepared from buffalo milk had higher fat and protein contents, and better taste, aroma, and overall consumer acceptability compared with laban prepared from cow milk or mixed milk. During storage, protein and total solids contents remained unchanged, whereas milk fat, color, appearance, taste, smell, texture, and overall acceptability of laban decreased in the different treatment groups. The acidity of laban increased with storage time. Bacteria, including coliforms, were not found in any treatment group during storage. In conclusion, overall acceptability of laban prepared from buffalo milk was higher than that made from cow milk or mixed milk, but increased storage time reduced the quality of laban prepared from cow, buffalo, or mixed milk.
