LONG-LIFE YOGHURT

  • long-life yoghurt can be prepared from both set and stirred yoghurt
  • fresh yoghurt has a shelf life of 14 days under ideal storage conditions
  • this can be extended by second pasteuriation of the product

  • aim of the second pasteurization process is the elimination of yeast and moulds thus giving the product a longer shelf life

  • stirred yoghurt

    • has a thick smooth consistency and

    • is viscous enough to hold fruit in suspension

  • set yoghurt

    • has a firm, gel-like consistency, and

    • a clean surface is apparent when the yoghurt is cut.
