1.Description
The
pretreatment of the milk is the same, regardless of whether set or
stirred yoghurt is to be produced. It includes standardisation of the
fat and dry matter contents, heat treatment and homogenisation. Figure
shows an example of the design of a process line for yoghurt production.
The milk is pump from storage tank to the process line, are not shown
in the figure. It is assumed that the milk has been standardised to the
required fat content before entering the line and standardisation of the
dry matter content takes place in an evaporator in the process line. If
the dry matter content is adjusted by addition of milk powder, the
equipment used is similar to that described under “Recombined milk”. Any
additives, such as stabilisers, vitamins, etc., can be metered into the
milk before the heat treatment.
When the yogurt milk has been
pretreated and cooled to inoculation temperature, the procedure for
further treatment depends on whether set, stirred, drink, frozen or
concentrated yogurt is to be produced. The quality of the yogurt in
terms of texture and flavour is essential.
