1.Milk composition may be adjusted to achieve the desired fat and solids content.
2.The milk mixture is pasteurized at 185°F (85°C) for 30 minutes or at 203°F (95°C) for 10 minutes.
3. Homogenize(2000 to 2500 psi) to mix all ingredients thoroughly and improve yogurt consistency.
4. The milk is cooled to 108°F (42°C) to bring the yogurt to the ideal growth temperature for the starter culture and lactic bacteria
5.The milk is held at 108°F (42°C) until a pH 4.5 is reached. This allows the fermentation to progress to form a soft gel and the characteristic flavor of yogurt.
6. The yogurt is cooled to 7°C to stop the fermentation process and packaged as desired.
