A form of fermented milk produced in most countries where


fresh milk is drunk.

Yogurt is produced by
the controlled
fermentation of milk by
two species of bacteria
Lactobacillus bulgaricus
and Lactotococcus
thermophilus (also
known as Streptococcus
thermophilus)

The sugar in milk


(called lactose) is
fermented to acid
(lactic acid) and it is
this that causes the
characteristic curd
to form.

Streptococcus
thermophilus brings
the pH of the milk
down to 5.5
Lactobacillus
bulgaricus converts
lactose to lactic acid

The two bacteria


have a mutually
stimulating effect on
one another.
Proteolytic enzymes
from L. bulgaricus
break down milk
proteins into
peptides.

These peptides
stimulate the growth
of L. thermophilus
which in turn
produces formic acid
and carbon dioxide
These are growth
stimulants for the L.
bulgaricus.

At the end of the


incubation pH may
fall to as low as 4.2
4.4
The lactic acid
coagulates the
remaining milk
proteins, causing the
yoghurt to thicken.

Acetaldehyde, a
metabolic by
product of both
species, gives raw
yoghurt its
characteristic
flavour.

Incubation takes 12
hours at 32o C to
reach the set point
of natural yoghurt
Sugar, colour and
fruit pulp is often
added to increase
popularity of
product.

Yogurt is a nutritious
dessert and its
manufacture is an
ideal way of using
up Europes excess
milk production

Some yoghurts may


receive additional
heat treatment to
kill off any living
bacteria before or
after packaging for
the consumer
