Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for decreasing the time required for production of yogurt without compromise of product quality. More particularly, the invention relates to a process for decreasing the time required for yogurt production without compromise of quality by fermentation at about 105 F. to about 115 F. followed by direct acidification. The yogurt composition is directly acidified when the pH of the composition reaches a pH of about 4.8 to about 5.2. The composition can be acidified while the temperature is at about 105 F. to about 115 F., or the composition can be acidified during or after cooling.
