| Abstract | ||||
| In food industry, the processing of vegetables and fruits produces huge amounts of waste. The management of these wastes is a very important issue for the food industry, which is an important sector in the world economy. New biotechnologies allow recycling of these wastes for high value-added products. It is thought that these wastes contain valuable molecules with potential technological application such as polysaccharides. The technological importance of polysaccharides is attributed to their distinct physicochemical properties such as their ability to emulsify, bloating, thickening, adhesion, stabilization and other important characteristics for food manufacturer. Polysaccharides also have many medical applications, for example their ability to act as antioxidants, anti-tumors, antibacterial and antiviral as well as their ability to reduce blood cholesterol levels and important other properties. Due to these many technological and health benefits of polysaccharides, this study aimed to extract polysaccharides from different plant residues and study their interaction with milk protein and then use them to manufacture functional yoghurt by adding them to the milk prepared for the industry low yoghurt in its fat content. | ||||
