A yogurt base comprising water, non-fat dried milk, cream, sugar, starch and gelatin was homogenized and pasteurized. The heat treated base was cooled and starter culture added. The cultured yogurt base was fermented to a pH of 4.3 and thereafter cooled to refrigeration temperatures. Thereafter, the hydrated emulsifier blend consisting of water, sodium steary lactylate, and a lactylated blend of mono- and diglycerides available

Adjust Milk Composition & Blend Ingredients Milk composition may be adjusted to achieve the desired fat and solids content. Often dry milk is added to increase the amount of whey protein to provide a desirable texture. Ingredients such as stabilizers are added at this time. |

Pasteurize Milk The milk mixture is pasteurized at 185°F (85°C) for 30 minutes or at 203°F (95°C) for 10 minutes. A high heat treatment is used to denature the whey (serum). This allows the proteins to form a more stable gel, which prevents separation of the water during storage. The high heat treatment also further reduces the number of spoilage organisms in the milk to provide a better environment for the starter cultures to grow. Yogurt is pasteurized before the starter cultures are added to ensure that the cultures remain active in the yogurt after fermentation to act as probiotics; if the yogurt is pasteurized after fermentation the cultures will be inactivated. |
