Effect of Dried Apricots Extract on the Growth of Bifidobacteria in Cows and Sheeps Milk
Saqer M. Herzallah

Abstract: The growth of Bifidobacteria (B. infantis) in milks mixed with dried fruit extracts (Apricot) was insignificantly affected (p>0.05) by either of the milk type and/ or the fruit extract concentration. Moreover, the sensory evaluation of bifidus milk extracts fermented by B. infantis prepared from cow`s and sheep`s milk with dried apricot extract each at 10% (v/v) concentration, showed a significant acceptability at p<0.05 for both cow`s and sheep`s milk with apricot extract.
