Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of dairy product processing, and in particular to application of a fermentation strain combination in a fermented product containing plant protein. Background Art

[0002] Animal and plant double protein yogurt is a new type of nutritious and healthy food. It combines animal protein and plant protein and makes corresponding products through fermentation. The combination of the two proteins has rich nutritional value, better exerts the function of protein and promotes human health. At the same time, double protein dairy products can promote the body's absorption of protein, reduce lactose intolerance, provide a suitable source of calcium and B vitamins, and have health care effects such as improving intestinal flora, lowering serum cholesterol levels, and improving calcium and phosphorus utilization.

[0003] There are some dual-protein dairy products at present, but the problems of removing the fishy smell of soy milk and the stability of plant yogurt have not been effectively solved. Therefore, the addition of plant protein is still restricted, and most of them have certain unpleasant flavors, which affects the market development value of dual-protein dairy products.

[0004] The unpleasant flavor of plant protein is not only that it itself has an unpleasant flavor, but also that it may produce new unpleasant flavors during the fermentation process. For example, when plant raw materials such as soybeans are fermented, the lipoxygenase in them is activated by oxygen and water, and the polyunsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid and linolenic acid are oxidized to form hydroperoxides, which are then degraded into a variety of volatile compounds such as small molecule alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, acids and amines with different degrees of odor, thus forming unpleasant flavors such as fishy smell. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides an application of a fermentation strain combination in a fermented product containing plant protein. By applying a specific strain combination to the fermentation process of the fermented product containing plant protein, the bad flavor of the plant protein can be reduced while also reducing the generation of bad flavors during the fermentation process.
