From milk to yoghurt
„Yoghurt“ says the encyclopedia
„is a creamy, aromatic form of
sour milk produced by certain
bacteria in thickened milk; impor-
tant dietary food.“
For the making of yoghurt milk
has to be „inoculated“, that is by
adding lactid acid bacteria, the
so-called starter, the maturing
process is initiated.
For such a starter one can use a
special yoghurt ferment or a
commercial yoghurt that has no
added flavor. At 40
O
C these bac-
teria thrive ideally.
H-milk (specially treated milk that
keeps longer) produces firm
yoghurt, unskimmed milk produ-
ces less firm yoghurt and skimmed
milk produces very soft yoghurt.
If you add a little milk powder
they will produce a firmer
yoghurt.
Preparations
In the six jars you can process a
total of 1l of milk. The milk must
be heated up to the point just
before boiling. H-milk is already
highly heated-up and homogeni-
zed, however if you want to be
sure this milk should also be
heated up.
Before „inoculating“ cool the milk
below 42
O
C, a higher temperature
kills the necessary yoghurt
bacteria, a temperature below
20
O
C keeps them from becoming
active. For 1l of milk you need 1
bag of yoghurt ferment or approx.
150 ml fresh naturalyoghurt
without added flavor. Heat trea-
ted yoghurt can not be used as a
starter because micro-
organisms were eliminated. The
fat content should correspond to
that of the milk or it will result in
very runny yoghurt.
Stir the starter carefully in a bigger
receptacle into the milk, it must
be spread evenly in the milk. If it
is spread unevenly the yoghurt
will be solid at the bottom and
runny on the top.
Only use fresh ferment from a
health food shop. Old ferment
requires a longer maturing pro-
cess - overly old ferment can be
totally useless.
Yoghurt that has been made with
ferment can be subsequently
used as a starter. Just add one
glass of it to 1l milk.
