Abstract

A fermented, oat-based product with properties resembling those of the traditional, Swedish, fermented milk product "filmjoelk" (sour milk) was developed. Com., mixed-strain, mesophilic starter cultures were grown in the oatbases M30, G40, and Oatly, which differed in the compn. of their carbohydrates. The exopolysaccharide-producer Pediococcus damnosus 2.6 was included to increase the viscosity of the G40 product. The CHN-19 culture chosen for the final product formulation produced a pleasant, buttery aroma, but a less sour taste than ordinary "filmjoelk". The addn. of glucose to M30 increased the acidification rate and gave a better aroma. A sensory anal. of two flavored products based on the G40 and M30 media, showed a higher acceptance of the M30 product. This study shows a potential for producing an oat-based "filmjoelk", but further work on consistency and taste is needed.
