Yoghurt Production

  • Milk is heated for sterelisation. This kills the present bacteria
  • Then it is stirred thoroughly and milk protein is added.
  • And then the starter culture, 'Lactobacillus' bacteria is added (whilst the milk is warm)
  • The 'Lactobacillus' bacteria ferments the sugar Lactose, into lactic acid
  • Lactic Acid then causes the milk to lower in pH and the milk curdles/solidifies. This curdled milk is now raw yoghurt.
  • It can now be put straight into the pot OR flavours can be added to it.
  • It is then packaged and sold

Soy Sauce

  • Soy Beans are cooked (this kills bacteria)
  • And mixed with roasted wheat
  • Aspergillus mould is added (to the mixture) to ferment it
  • Brine is added to make it salty
  • Yeast and Lactobacillus is added to ferment the mixture
  • The liquid is flitered to remove any residue
  • Then it is pasteurised (this is the process of heating to remove unwanted microorganisms)
