Effect of Starter Cultures and Storage Conditions on the Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid and Phytic Acid Contents in a Yoghurt-Like Product Made from Germinated Hyacinth Beans
Hyacinth beans were used for developing a functional yoghurt-like product with a high level of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA). Germinated hyacinth bean extract was fermented with three different yoghurt cultures, namely (1) Lyofast Y 258 A and (2) Lyofast Y 450 B, containing a combination of S. thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus, and (3) XPL-20 containing Lc. lactis ssp. cremoris, Lc. lactis ssp. lactis, and S. thermophilus, incubated to pH 4.5, and then stored at 4-6℃ for 21 days. The variations in GABA and phytic acid levels during cold storage were evaluated. The type of culture and storage time significantly influenced the GABA and phytic acid levels. The mixture of Lactococcus lactis ssp. cremoris, Lc. lactis ssp. lactis, and Streptococcus thermophilus produced a yoghurt-like product with the highest level of GABA (2.2 mg/g DM). In addition, the levels of GABA and phytic acid significantly decreased during cold storage. This study provides a foundation for the development of yoghurt-like products from water hyacinth beans with enhanced GABA content.
