Kinder Yogurt Visual

Yogurt

Yogurt is a food with a delicious creamy consistency and sour taste derived from milk, through a fermentation process activated by selected lactic bacteria ferments.

Ingredient

The origins of this food, now so widespread in our kitchens, are ancient and uncertain. We assume that its discovery occurred by chance: since prehistoric times, man had observed that milk stored in skins was naturally transformed into yogurt, thanks to the action of lactic ferments contained in milk in combination with high temperature.

Yogurt is generally obtained from cow's milk (whole, partially, or totally skimmed), but also goat, sheep or buffalo milks can be used to produce it.

The fermentation process is operated by selected lactic bacteria (Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus) and consists in converting a part of sugar contained in milk (lactose) into lactic acid. This reaction promotes the creation of an acid environment, in which coagulate proteins, make creamy yoghurt.

Greek yogurt and poured yoghurt in particular are obtained through ultrafiltration and centrifugation. Filtration allows to remove a part of the whey from the mass of yogurt obtained through fermentation and turning it into more concentrated yoghurt.
