FSE: Flos Sophorae extract; TP: Tremella fuciformis polysaccharides; Con: the yogurt without FSE or TP; based on 2.4% FSE, the different concentrations of TP (0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 mg/mL milk) were added to produce FSE2.4, FSE-TP0.2, FSE-TP0.4, FSE-TP0.6, and FSE-TP0.8 yogurts. In each column, the values with different letters indicated significant differences among groups ().
