almond nut yogurt & enzymes

[Guest guest]

Quick question,

If you use No-phenol enzyme to avoid a phenol reaction with the almond nut

yogurt will it effect the probiotic in the yogurt???

Thanks

Not sure but you can make cashew yogurt which is low in phenols.

Don't know, but you can also make hazelnut/filbert yoghurt.

Shouldn't. The interaction of concern between enzymes and probiotics

is only for proteases which breakdown proteins. Bacteria, good and

bad, consists of proteins so there is a concern that the enzymes

would:

- break down the probiotics

- lessen their ability to adhere to the intestines and colonize

I have looked at this several times in literature searches. It seems

some bacteria are more sensitive to protease enzymes than other

bacteria. And timing, pH, and other factors contribute to this. Other

probiotics have totally unaffected by proteases. So it depends on the

probiotic preparation and encapsulation.

Of course, in terms of getting rid of bad bacteria, this interaction

is seen as good. Proteases will help breakdown bad bacteria and help

remove toxins so there is less die-off reactions.
