Yoghurt – typical process

 Milk for production pasteurised:  85°C for 30 mins  95°C for 10 mins

 High temperatures used:  To allow starter culture to work  Coagulation of whey proteins  Enhanced viscosity and texture

Yoghurt – typical process

 Milk commonly homogenised to stabilise components.  Starter culture added

16

Yoghurt – typical process

 Starter culture = LB + ST  When used together, produce rapid acidity  ensues producing:   Acetic acid  Acetaldehyde

17

Yoghurt – typical process

 Temperature maintained at 43°C for 4-6hrs  When titratable acidity + 0.85-0.90%  Cooled to 5-22°C, agitated  Fruit etc added  Packaged

Types of yoghurt

 Main types  Stirred yoghurt:  incubated in tanks and cooled before packing,  Set yoghurt:  incubated and cooled in the package.  Drinking yoghurt:  Coagulum is broken down to a liquid before being packed,  Frozen yoghurt:  incubated in tanks and frozen like ice  Greek yoghurt or strained yoghurt:  incubated in tanks, concentrated and cooled before packed.

Stirred yoghurt

 Incubation Treated milk + culture  42-43˚C  4 – 5 hours Incubation  Cooling  15 - 22˚C Cooling  Stops acid development  Flavouring Flavouring  Heat treated fruit

section V- HACCP-based Plans

This family of fermented milk products includes kefir, yoghurt, , , filmjölk, rjażenka and others - whose common feature is their acidification by lactic acid . There are two ways of making fermented milk products: 1. Set type method. Milk is mixed with ingredients (sugar, fruits, flavours, colourings etc.) then inoculated with starter cultures, filled into its final packaging before incubation and, finally, cooling. 2. Stirred type method. Milk is inoculated with starter cultures and incubated in a fermentation vessel. When a required pH has been reached, the coagulum is cooled and mixed with ingredients before filling and packing. Depending on the technology used, the producer should determine the exact sequence of steps appropriate to their product.
