      Do you know yogurt is constant breakfast essential which is a go to option for every age group? Do you wonder how these nutritional packets of yogurt make to your breakfast table? Yogurts are consumed ever day by millions of people around the world. Yogurt packed with probiotic and essential nutrients are produced by the fermentation of milk transforming it into delicious dairy product.

      Yogurt manufacturing process

      This FAQ guide give you in depth knowledge about yogurt manufacturing process, equipment used in this process, different types of yogurt and their uses in different industry. What is the innovation and science behind this process? Let’s begin this topic with commonly asked questions and their expert answers.

        The yogurt manufacturing process is a series of step that involve changing of milk component at turning it into commercial yogurt which you consume daily. This involves high temperature around 90⁰C for specific culturing period and may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.

        Milk and other dairy products are consumed from ancient time but need of fermentation arises from Middle Eastern times. Through this process, they extend the shelf life of milk and reduce spoilage of milk.

        During milk processing and further yogurt manufacturing causes physiochemical changes that effect flavor and texture of yogurt while standardize process developed which provides desirable textural and flavor characteristics.

        2.What are the raw ingredients used in the yogurt manufacturing process?

        Raw Ingredients in Yogurt Manufacturing Process

        Yogurt is dairy product which is produced through culturing process of one or more microorganism culture which contain bacteria like streptococcus thermophilus and lactobacillus bulgaricus which are key factor for converting milk lactose into lactic acid and help in curdling of milk. Few other ingredients are also added to support whole process. Let’s unfold each ingredient for you in detail.

        Selection of good quality milk

        Most of the commercial yogurt which you consumed are manufactured from cow and buffalo milk. The fat content of cow milk, depending on breed and diet ranges from 3-3.5 gm per 100 ml of milk and this content may be change by separation or addition of cream depending on the required texture of yogurt, taste and consumer demand.

        The usual desirable range of fat in yogurt is lies in between 1.0-4-.5 gm per 100ml. However, most important factor in cow milk is solid-non-fat (SNF) which varies from 8.5-9.0 gm. /ml containing around 4.5 g lactose and 3.3g protein.

        All raw dairy ingredient material should be selected for high bacteriological quality. Mastitis milk, rancid milk and milk containing antibiotic and sanitizing chemical residue cannot be used for yogurt manufacturing process.

        Starter culture

        Starter culture

        Bacterial Culture for Yogurt Manufacturing Process- Picture Courtesy: Cultured Food Life

        The starter culture is critical ingredient in yogurt manufacturing process. The starter culture comprises of one microorganism or may be a mixed culture comprises of two or more microorganisms. The culture is responsible to convert milk sugar (lactose) into lactic acid so that milk become sour (fermented).

        This time taken process required 5hours at a maintained temperature of 45⁰C or more time required at lower temperature for the production of lactic acid, if frozen yogurt concentrate culture is used. There is different starter culture available but most commonly used starter culture in commercial yogurt manufacturing are streptococcus thermophilus (ST) and lactobacillus bulgaricus (LB). These bacteria are ultimately responsible for flavor and aroma of final product.

        The milk protein coagulates or curdles due to drop in pH which is carried out by starter culture. The streptococci are responsible for lowering pH to 5-5.5 and lactobacillus further reduced pH to 3.8-4.4. These two bacteria are considered safe to use in food and an absence of pathogenicity.

        Stabilizer

        Stabilizer

        Stabilizers are the excipients which are used to give smooth texture, firmness and consistency to yogurt. Stabilizer is also helpful in reducing wheying of yogurt during storage. You need to keep in mind few things while choosing a good stabilizer, it is will not affect taste or flavor of yogurt and also work at standardize low pH. Most of the commercial yogurt manufacturer used gelatin as stabilizer. Some plant source stabilizers are also used like carrageenans and guar.

        Gelatin is the first choice of stabilizer in yogurt manufacturing process because it gives shiny gel appearance to yogurt which melts in mouth. But, it is preferred in frozen yogurt because its activity is temperature dependent and can be denatured at high temperature loosing texture and firmness. There are few other options of stabilizer which are used in yogurt like starch and caboxymethylcellulose.

        Sweetener

        Sweetener

        Sweetener - Picture Courtesy: Ragus sugar

        Sweeteners are added to give pleasant taste and mask acidic flavor in yogurt. It is noticed that high amount of sweetener greatly influences flavor or taste of yogurt. In almost every commercial yogurt, sucrose is used as sweetener. Sucrose may be added in dry, granulated and in form of crystal containing not more than 67% sucrose. Liquid sweeteners are used in large scale yogurt production settings for less problematic in handling.

        Most commonly used sweeteners in yogurt production are sucrose, corn syrup or honey are added to overcome the acidic taste and produce firmer texture. Since sugar increase osmotic pressure of milk base, addition of excessive sweetener (>10gm/100ml) before fermentation inhibit the starter culture activity. Due to this reason sugar are added with fruit to stirred yogurt just before filling.

        Most of the commercial yogurt you find in markets are comprises of lactose around 4.06%, galactose 1.85% and glucose estimated around 0.05% with pH of 4.40. Some manufacturer used artificial sweeteners as well on customer demand who are concerned about lower calorie content.

        Flavoring agent

        Flavoring agent

        The flavoring agent are specifically selected on the basis of market demand depending on consumer need. Flavoring agent used in yogurt are commonly added in the form fruit blend. The amount of flavoring blend you find in yogurt is mostly around 10-20 % and is approved by regulating food authority for safe use. They are added in yogurt to give eye appealing appearance and flavor closet to actual fruit. But there are few things which you need to look while choosing fruit blend.

        • Fruit blend does not alter the flavor and color of yogurt, when added.
        • The pH of yogurt is not altered due to fruit blend or their pH is balancing with each other.
        • Fruit blend must be carefully checked for microbial content, otherwise it leads to spoilage of yogurt.
        • The fruit blend is easily mixed in yogurt and dose not separate in storage.

        Fruit flavor vary depending on the season of the year like different fruit are available in different time of the year. Mostly flavor of yogurt which are liked all over world are strawberry, raspberry, cherry, mango, apricot, peach, plum and pineapple etc.

        Frozen fruit, canned and dried fruit are added as fruit blend in yogurt production. Fruit base pH is also important in balancing fruit flavor and color. Yogurt is refrigerated or stored at optimum temperature for flavor and color retention, and for extended shelf life.

        3.What steps are involved in yogurt manufacturing process?

        It will give you idea about steps involved in yogurt manufacturing process. It involves steps from milking animal to treating and processing till packaging.  Come along and you will learn step by step process.

        Initial treatment of milk

        Initial treatment of milk

        Initial Treatment and Milking- picture Courtesy: Tetra pack

        When milk arrived at plant it undergoes clarification process to remove bacteria and other solid impurities because bacterial growth can be occurring during milking and transportation, as it takes time long as days. The level of bacterial growth depends upon the hygiene during milking, temperature and storage period. Spoilage of milk with bacteria causes lactic acid fermentation.

        Afterward, mild heating process is performed known as thermalization at temperature of 60-69⁰C for 20-30 seconds to kill most of vegetative microorganism or partial inactivation of some enzyme. After thermalization, milk is cooled 4-5⁰C or incorporated with micro floras to control growth of bacteria.

        Standardization of milk components

        Standardization of milk components

        The second step in yogurt manufacturing process is standardization of milk. Standardization is performed to remove almost all the fat and solid-non-fat content. The fat content for yogurt is adjusted to range from 0.1-10% depending on consumer demand.

        Standardization is performed in continuous manner and accomplished by separator. You need a separator to remove cream and sediment from milk at the same time.  To achieve desired fat level, standardization of milk done by removing fat in form of cream leaving skim milk, then mixing both in desired ratio to obtain desired consistency and texture. Because fat content greatly influences characteristics of yogurt, increasing fat content can increase consistency and viscosity of yogurt.

        The term standardization is also referred to SNF (solid-non-fat) content. SNF content in yogurt manufacturing is ranges from 9-16%. It is noticed that fat and SNF content in milk impact fermentation, an increase in fat and SNF content in milk increases the fermentation process duration.

        Pasteurization

        Pasteurization

        Pasteurization- Picture Courtesy: Wikipedia

        It is a process of heating at very high temperature around 71⁰C and holding it for shorter period before cooling. This step is crucial in yogurt manufacturing. During this process, it destroys most of the pathogen, vegetative bacteria, yeast and mold. Additionally, it denatured several enzymes without altering flavor of yogurt. It also aids in denaturing wheying protein which results in yogurt of good consistency and firmness.  This process is also known as High temperature short term pasteurization (HTST).

        Pathogens that grow during bad hygiene practice can be killed with heat treatment ensuring processed milk is safe for consumption. Most commonly high temperature pasteurization is used in yogurt manufacturing process.

        Homogenization

        Homogenization

        Homogenization of milk –Picture Courtesy: Milk-ed

        After pasteurization, milk is passed through fourth step of homogenization. In this process, at high pressure molecule size is reduced to prevent wheying off (separation of fat layer and aqueous phase). You have to apply high pressure or high frequency. In this shear stress and due to temperature gradient cavitation occur that contributes to homogenization process.

        Homogenization best occur at temperature more than 37⁰C. This process is conducted at two stages. At first stage pressure of 2000psi is to subjected to reduce fat globule diameter from 2-10µm to 0.1-1 µm and in second step, 500 psi pressure applied to break cluster of globule inhibiting creaming of milk.

        Homogenizing prevents creaming and wheying off, give whiter appearance and enhance textural development of yogurt.

        Fermentation and cooling:

        Fermentation in Yogurt Manufacturing Process

        Fermentation is carried out after homogenization at the maintained temperature of 40-45⁰C and combination of lactobacillus bulgaricus and streptococcus thermophilus is added as starter culture in the same amount.

        When the desired pH is reached, microorganism starts its activity leading fermentation till required pH and acidity is reached. Addition of high level starter culture will lead to loss in texture and aroma of finished yogurt. The optimum amount of starter culture added should be 1-2% or may be increased to 4-5% if the sugar content is high (10-11%).

        After fermentation is completed yogurt is immediately cooled to stop further bacterial activity. It is done in two phases. In first phase Yogurt temperature is decreased to 10⁰C resulting low consistency coagulum. In second cooling phase, the coagulum temperature decreases rapidly to 5⁰C (storage temperature) with increased viscosity.

        Packaging

        Packaging

        After inoculation, milk is filled in carton for incubation. Once the cartons are filled, you need to heat sealed with aluminum foil and transfer to incubation room to at 42⁰C. The optimum growth temperature for starter culture is 35-50⁰C. If you incubated for long time so there are higher chances of post process acidifying. You must be cautious to avoid yogurt from turning sour and bitter.

        After incubation yogurt is set at 15-20⁰C and chilled at >5⁰C. Ready for final distribution.

        4.What equipment is used in the process of yogurt manufacturing process?

        Do you know how equipment work and lined in yogurt manufacturing process? Here you find all details about yogurt production equipment. Let’s get into it.

        Centrifugal separator

          So some ingredients are the key components in the aerosol manufacturing process. Let’s discuss them one by one:

          Propellants

          Do you know the reason behind the dispersion of active ingredients in the state of fine globules in the container? It’s the propellants that keep them in this form by creating pressure inside the can and providing even coverage.

          Product Concentrate

          It includes the combination of the following ingredients to formulate the product. It may be a solution, suspension, semisolid, emulsion, or powder:

          Active ingredients

          we add active ingredients to provide the primary function of the formulation in the aerosol manufacturing process. That might be cleaning, painting, therapeutic function, or coating.

          Solvents

          It acts as the medium for active ingredients to dissolve and create a stable solution. And gives a uniform dispersion after the administration.

          Stabilizers

          These are the reasons for the stability of the formulation and the shelf life.

          Aromatic agents

          They are scent additives including natural essential oils or synthetic aromatic compounds

          Aerosol containers

          These are made of plastic or metal cans. Used for the distribution of the liquid into mist or fog.

          Valve and actuator

          It defines the state in which the product is released which varies according to the type of valve, actuator, and spout mechanism. The actuator is used when the product is desired to be released in the form of mist. The spout is used when the discharge of the product is another form than mist.

          3.What are the propellants and the different types used in the aerosol manufacturing process?

          Propellants

          Propellants- Picture Courtesy: FEA

          The term propellant is used for any substance that gives motion to another substance or object upon expansion. So its role in the aerosol manufacturing process is quite obvious, works as a stimulant for the product to come out of the can when someone presses the actuator.

          It has 3 functions:

          • Pressurization
          • Product Release
          • Emptying the can

          Below are the different types of propellants that can be used in the aerosol manufacturing process. These are selected based on the desired particle size, vapor pressure, and solubility:

          Compressed Gases

          Contact Lens Cleaning Solution

          Contact Lens Cleaning Solution

          The compressed gases are used as propellants to dispense the product as a wet spray or solid stream. These are filled above the solution of the product in headspace. Common examples are nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and regular air.

          These gases are inert. They don’t have an ozone depletion effect and neither cause global warming. Therefore, considered safer than hydrocarbons for the environment. Ointments, aqueous antiseptic and germicidal aerosols, and contact lens cleaner saline solution are some examples where these propellants are used.

          In some products these propellants have shelf life restrictions as well as carbon dioxide affect climate change than other propellants. The containers with high pressure can blow up if they face high temperatures or any physical harm

          Liquefied Gases

          Air Fresheners

          Air Fresheners

          The liquefied gases as propellants used to dispense the product in the form of fine mist or foam.  They are inert and less toxic.  Common examples are butane, isobutene, and propane.  Food-grade packaging material, air fresheners, and perfumes are some examples of where these propellants are used.

          Some of them harm the environment even though they provide effective dispensing of the product. For example, butane can easily catch fire and cause an explosive environment upon leakage in a small area.

          4.How is the aerosol manufacturing process performed, and what are the principle steps of it?

          Aerosol Manufacturing Process-1

          As we mentioned earlier it is an intricate process. There are several steps involved in the aerosol manufacturing process. Let’s start to discuss them systematically:

          Step # 1: Formulation Development

          Insecticide Spray

          Insecticide Spray- Picture Courtesy: Honeywell

          The all process starts from the selection of active ingredients intended for specific purposes. Like paint aerosol, deodorant aerosol, or insecticide aerosol. Other than active ingredients, the formulation also consists of solvents, stabilizers, preservatives, emulsifiers, colorants, and aromatic agents.

          After the selection of formulation ingredients, precise calculations are carried out. The software is used to model formulations and then perform physical tests to ensure standards are met before moving to the next step.

          The accurate formulation of the product ensures the effectiveness, performance, and safety of the final product.

          Step # 2: Mixing and Blending

          Paint Spray Aerosol Manufacturing Process

          Paint Spray Aerosol Manufacturing Process

          The mixing step is carried out in large-scale mixing vessels or tanks. These mixers have advanced systems for mixing a broad spectrum of ingredients, like powder or viscous liquids with flexibility.

          During mixing, temperature regulation is very important as we know that some ingredients require cool temperature treatment while some require heating to create and maintain the desired consistency of the product. It can be achieved via temperature-controlled vessels.

          In some formulations, waxes are used like in hair sprays or paints. These waxes have to be melted before incorporating in other ingredients. Likewise, some ingredients need to be added earlier while others are added at different levels of mixing to maintain the stability of the final product.

          For the assurance of the right amount of ingredients added at the right time, automated systems are utilized. At this step, tests are performed for quality control of vital parameters. After achieving the required consistency, the mixture is filtered out to remove any impurities added during this step. After that, the mixture is brought to the filling machine.

          Step # 3: Filling of Cans

          Filling of Cans

          It is an automated process that involves the transfer of the formulated and blended product into the cans during the aerosol manufacturing process. It has different steps as follows

          Cans cleaning and integrity test

          Cans Preparation

          Cans Preparation- Picture Courtesy: Aerofil

          The cans are cleaned thoroughly to remove any impurities that can cause contamination. Metal cans are cleaned through steam or air jets. Plastic or glass cans are cleaned by washing.

          Also, the integrity of the can is tested before and after the filling of the product to ensure that there is no damage or defects.

          Filling of the Product

          Product Filling

          Product Filling

          The automated machines fill the liquid products with equal and right amounts into the prepared cans. The speed of the filling machine is adjusted according to the production scale. A clean and contaminated-free environment should be maintained during the filling process.

          Keeping Headspace

          The headspace is crucial for the injection of the propellant in the coming step. So therefore care should be taken to avoid filling cans to the brim.

          Step # 4: Injection of the Propellant

          Propellant Filling Machine

          Propellant Filling Machine

          The propellant injecting machines are utilized to inject the propellant into the cans. This step is delicate one that an accurate amount of propellant should be injected. Because this step has an influence on the functionality of the final product. If the propellant is added in excess, it will over-pressurize the cans.

          The injected propellant occupied the place of air in the headspace of the cans and built the right pressure to discharge the product.

          Step # 5 Assembly of Valve and Actuator

          Water-based Aerosol Paint-Picture Courtesy: Motolow Blog

          These include emulsion and dispersion formulation. The product is contained in lined or double-lined cans (e.g. phenolic resins, epoxy linings). If any effective corrosion inhibitor is incorporated, then unlined containers can be used. Commonly used propellants in the aerosol manufacturing process of aqueous products are hydrocarbons, nitrogen, dimethyl ether, and hydrofluorocarbons.

          Carbon dioxide is the only one among the propellants that can’t be used in aqueous formulations of the aerosol manufacturing process. The reason is that it forms carbonic acid in an aqueous environment, causing the corrosion of cans and affecting the physical features of the product.

          Solvent-Based Formula

          Solvent-Based Formula

          Solvent-based Aerosol Paint

          Oil-in-water emulsions are solvent base formulations in the aerosol manufacturing process. Unlined cans are used as most of the solvents can easily dissolve the coating of the inner wall.

          When there is a moisture content of more than 0.1 % in the product concentrate, then you will have to add corrosion inhibitors. Sometimes moisture content less than 0.1 % would become the reason for the corrosion.

          Hydrocarbons, a mixture of hydrocarbons and hydrofluorocarbons are widely used propellants. These formulations required a higher content of liquefied gas propellant to completely expel the product from the can.
