description Currently, starter cultures for fermenting plant-based beverages are not widely available commercially, but producers can use starter cultures for dairy products. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the physicochemical, rheological, antioxidant and sensory properties of oat beverages with/without pectin fermented by four different dairy starter cultures. The use of a mono-starter with <i>Lactobacillus bulgaricus</i> or <i>Sreptococcus thermophilus</i> allows for the efficient use of glucose, and more lactic acid is accumulated. The beverage with <i>L. bulgaricus</i> is characterised by high adhesion, syneresis and low cohesiveness, and it has high antioxidant activity and a low sensory profile. Using starter with <i>L. bulgaricus</i>, <i>S. thermophilus</i> and some <i>Lactococcus</i> for fermentation yields a product with high sensory capacity, forming a high-viscosity beverage matrix with low syneresis, high water retention, chewy texture and stickiness. It has been observed that the absence of lactococci and the presence of <i>Lactobacillus casei</i>, <i>L. Rhamnosus</i> and <i>L. paracasei</i> in the starter yields a product with high antioxidant activity, especially in the presence of pectin. The use of pectin significantly improves the viscosity and textural properties of oat yoghurt, enhancing the drink’s flavour and giving it body. For many reasons, the use of different commercial starters in the dairy industry results in different viscosities of oat fermented beverages, forming a matrix with different textural, sensory and antioxidant properties.
