The
objective of the study is to extract ergothioneine from oyster plueteuros
mushroom and encorporate in yoghurt to enhance the nutritional quality of the
product, also now a days there are lot of diabetic patients, to reduce this
disease sugar is replace with stevia which is 50 to 300 times sweeter than
sugar. As ergothioneine is a bioactive compound which is native source of amino
acid derived from oyster mushroom (pleurotus spp.) ergothioneine contains the
antioxidant property which can help to protect cells from free radicals. Yogurt
was prepared by using lactobacillus casein. The concentration of ergothioneine
added in S1, S2 and S3 was 0.1,0.2 and 0.3 respectively, also stevia was added
for sweetness. sensory evaluation was conducted on 9-point hedonic scale. The
overall acceptability of product was good. Incorporation of ergothioneine in
yoghurt increases the ash, moisture, fat, carbohydrate and protein. This
suggest that ergothioneine has positive impact on health by addition of
ergothioneine as bioactive compound in yoghurt.
