Table 3. List of some recently reported studies on development of beverages based on whey or buttermilk.

Beverage formulation Outcomes Reference
Orange juice and whey in different ratios Best sensory and microbiological properties for formulations (in %)70 whey/30 orange juice and 65 whey/35 orange juice (39)
Whey orange juice characterised by higher content of proteins, ash and vitamin B than orange juice (40)
Beverage containing 70% whey, 30% orange juice and CO2 achieved best sensory scores and had the best nutritional composition (41)
Different formulations of guava pulp and whey The best beverage was obtained by pasteurisation at 65 °C for 25 min and cold storage for 45 days (44)
Mentha arvensis extract addition to whey Optimal beverage contained banana juice and max. 2% Mentha arvensis extract, shelf life of 15 days (48)
Best formulation consisted of 80% whey, 20% beetroot and 6% Mentha arvensis extract (49)
Whey fermentation by probiotic strains Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus brevis and their combination and supplementation with fruit concentrates (lemon, mango, pineapple, apple, grape) and sucrose Optimal beverage inoculated with Lb. plantarum and enriched with pineapple concentrate (55)
Five mixes of probiotic drinks formulated from sweet whey and black mulberry (BM) juice Viability of probiotic strains Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis Bb-12 remained high up to 14 days of cold storage; sensory properties of sample with 25% whey and 75% BM juice obtained the highest scores (79)
Addition of CO2, and fresh mango, pineapple and orange juices to buttermilk Best formulation was obtained by adding 12% sugar and 24% pineapple juice to buttermilk (74)
Cultured buttermilk beverage supplemented with Aloe vera juice Samples containing 10% Aloe vera juice obtained the highest sensory scores and had improved nutritive and physicochemical properties compared to sole buttermilk (77)
Therapeutic buttermilk formulation by fermentation and incorporation of Moringa pod powder (MPP) Buttermilk fermented with mesophilic/thermophilic dahi culture, supplemented with 1.92% MPP was found optimal due to satisfying shelf life of 20 days at refrigeration and high content of calcium, iron and vitamin A (80)
