Synopsis

In its first edition, this book quickly established itself as the essential reference tool in its field for both industry professionals and those involved in related fields of research. Because yoghurt manufacture is still, essentially, a natural biological process, it remains difficult to control the quality of the final product. Such control depends on a thorough understanding of the nature of yoghurt and the biochemical changes involved in production. This completely revised and updated third edition incorporates recent developments in scientific research underpinning the production of yoghurt of consistently high-quality. In addition, further scientific details on health-promoting yoghurts have been included, covering, for example, the results of clinical studies and nutritional values of these products.

Key Features: includes developments in the understanding of the biochemical changes involved in yoghurt production; outlines significant technological advances in mechanisation and automation; discusses the nutritional value of yoghurt; a unique and essential reference for researchers and manufacturers in the dairy industry.

Contents: Historical background; Background to manufacturing practice; Processing plants and equipment; Plant cleaning, hygiene and effluent treatment cleaning aspects; Traditional and recent developments in yoghurt production and related products; Microbiology of yoghurt and related starter cultures; Biochemistry of fermentation; Preservation and production of starter cultures; Nutritional value of yoghurt; Quality control in yoghurt manufacture.
