Edible Gums in Yoghurt
We know that yoghurt is made from fresh whole milk as raw material, dairy products made by lactic acid bacteria fermentation, carrageenan applied to yoghurt, can improve the texture of yoghurt, flavour viscosity, at the same time, carrageenan can also be formed through the interaction with the milk components of the mesh, binding water and increase the viscosity of yoghurt, the dosage of reference for the 0.1% -0.3%.
Gelatin is a source of animal, elastic texture of the colloid, add gelatin in yoghurt, can enhance the aroma of yoghurt taste, but also to extend the shelf life of yoghurt, the recommended dosage of 0.1% -0.2%.
Pectin is divided into low-methoxy pectin and high-methoxy pectin, generally used in yoghurt is low-methoxy pectin, in yoghurt mainly play a smooth, enhance the role of gloss, the recommended dosage of 0.1% -0.15%.
Modified starch is also used in yoghurt, in yoghurt can play a role in thickening, prevent whey precipitation, increase the consistency and taste of products, improve the brightness of the product and reduce the amount of gum. When the fermentation system of yoghurt is reduced to the isoelectric point of casein, casein is denatured and solidified, generating casein microgelatin particles connected to the three-dimensional mesh system of water skeleton into curd, adding modified starch will not be directly used by lactic acid bacteria, can be filled with the skeleton, binding free water, and maintain the stability of the system. ---- Source: China Chuanglian Edible Gum Network
