Yogurt classification:
According to national standards, yogurt can be divided into four categories: yogurt, fermented milk, flavored yogurt and flavored fermented milk.
Yogurt: Raw cow (sheep) milk or milk powder is used as raw material, which is sterilized, inoculated and fermented by Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus (Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp.). Bulgaria).
Fermented milk: a product with reduced pH value made from raw cow (sheep) milk or milk powder after sterilization and fermentation, which is not limited by strains.
Flavor yogurt: In addition to milk/milk powder, other ingredients are added to yogurt, such as food additives, fruits and vegetables or miscellaneous grains. As long as the milk/milk powder content exceeds 80%, the protein content is ≥2.3%.
Flavor fermented milk: Except milk/milk powder, other ingredients are added after inoculation and fermentation, and there is no restriction on bacteria.
