Adopted fermenting bacterium: Streptococcus Thermophilus

Streptococcus thermophilus, a beneficial bacterium used in yoghurt production, thrives in high temperatures. It contributes to the smooth, creamy texture and slightly tangy flavor of yoghurt by fermenting lactose into lactic acid, enhancing its taste and thick consistency. Additionally, it boosts the bioavailability of nutrients like calcium. Yoghurt made with Streptococcus thermophilus offers consumers a delicious and nutritious dairy option.

Streptococcus Thermophilus is a gram-positive , coccus-shaped bacterium that grows best at temperatures between 37 and 45 degrees Celsius. It is non-pathogenic and generally considered to be safe for human consumption. It is a very acid-tolerant organism, meaning it can survive in low pH environments. It is also resistant to high salt concentrations. One of its most notable characteristics is its ability to produce lactic acid, which is used in the production of many fermented dairy products.

Yoghurt production process

Plain yoghurt, a versatile dairy product, is made by fermenting pasteurized milk with starter bacteria like Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus. This process converts lactose into lactic acid, giving yoghurt its tangy flavor and creamy texture. Rich in probiotics, calcium, and protein, plain yoghurt serves as a nutritious base for various dishes, from breakfast to desserts, and remains a staple in many cuisines worldwide.
