Yogurt Fermentation Process Overview
This controlled process helps ensure uniform texture, clean flavor, and probiotic stability.
1. Milk Preparation
- Pasteurized milk is transferred into the yogurt fermentation tank.
2. Starter Culture Addition
- Yogurt starter cultures are inoculated into the milk.
3. Heating Stage
- The tank maintains the optimal fermentation temperature for controlled bacterial growth.
4. Controlled Fermentation
- Yogurt thickens while acidity gradually develops under controlled conditions.
5. Cooling Stage
- Fermentation stops when the target pH and product texture are reached.
6. Transfer or Packaging
- The yogurt is transferred for further processing, filling, or packaging.
Optional Automation and Smart Monitoring
Les Yogurt Fermentation Tank can be configured with different levels of control depending on production scale and quality standardization needs.
Basic Manual Monitoring
Suitable for smaller yogurt startups and pilot production.
Digital Monitoring
