The principle of fermentation and production of yogurt
Yogurt is undoubtedly a favorite of many people. I always want to have a cup of yogurt half an hour after each meal. In fact, on the other hand, this also reflects the principle of health preservation. Yogurt has a great effect and can help us moisten the intestines, especially those who have poor digestive function need to drink more, because yogurt can also help us digest. In addition, it is said that yogurt can also help lower blood pressure.
Since yogurt is so good, how much do you know about the principles of yogurt? Do you also know how yogurt is formed? Do you know why this turned out to be like this? Even if you don’t know anything, it doesn’t matter. We will answer these questions one by one for you. I believe you will definitely gain a lot after reading this article.
The principle of yogurt is that lactic acid bacteria ferment and grow in milk. As for the principle of the yogurt machine, it is to provide the optimal temperature for the growth of lactic acid bacteria (42 degrees), so one component is heated and the other component is controlled, and that's all.
It should be noted that 42 degrees is the optimal growth temperature for lactic acid bacteria, and at this temperature, the growth is the fastest. Of course, it can also grow under other temperature conditions, so yogurt will become bad even if it is placed in a refrigerator at 4 degrees for a long time, because lactic acid bacteria will grow excessively over time under 4 degrees.
Use a thermos pot. If you can measure the temperature for a while and replenish hot water when the temperature is low, it is OK, but it will be very troublesome. And even so, it can only ensure fluctuations around 42 degrees, and the fermentation effect is not as good as using a yogurt machine.
However, yogurt does not make you lose weight by drinking it. It also contains a certain amount of calories. If you eat more on the basis of the original diet, it will also cause weight gain. The best way is to choose yogurt marked with the words skim and low-calorie. Although they are not as rich and mellow as whole fat yogurt, they have low calories and will not cause calories to accumulate quickly in the body and gain weight.
Now you should understand the principle of yogurt fermentation. But anything and good side will definitely have its bad side, but as long as we master it properly, there should be no problem. It’s like yogurt. If you drink too much, you will have diarrhea. If you don’t drink it, you will have indigestion. So everyone must grasp this degree when making a choice.
