SOY-YOGURT PRODUCTION

Set Style Soy-Yogurt Systems
In these systems the soymilk is first pasteurized and then cooled. ProSoya's proprietary culture and other ingredients are then added and well mixed. The cultured milk is then packed and sealed in appropriate containers. The containers are placed in an incubation chamber or room for 4 to 5 hours during which time the soy-yogurt sets in-situ. For "fruit at the bottom" type of product the desired fruits, duly processed, are placed in the bottom of the containers before filling in the cultured milk. After the setting time the containers are moved to a cold room. The equipment supplied for production of this type of soy-yogurt comprises a jacketed/insulated agitated tank of appropriate capacity. Two such vessels may be supplied for larger production facilities. The agitating and heating arrangements are designed so as to avoid protein burn-on and for intimate mixing of the culture. The filling/sealing and incubation facilities are not normally within the scope of supplies.

Stirred and Drinkable Soy-Yogurt Systems
The operation of these systems is similar to that of set style yogurt except that after mixing of the culture the agitation is stopped and the soymilk is allowed to set to yogurt in the vessel. After incubation is completed (8-10 hrs) the product is simultaneously cooled and stirred. After which it is withdrawn using a positive displacement pump and packaged. For drinkable yogurt the stirred yogurt is thinned to the required consistency by adding sterile water with agitation. Other ingredients may also be added at this stage. After packaging the soy-yogurt is stored in a cold room. The equipment for the production of this variety of yogurt is similar to that for the set-style yogurt except that the size and number of vessels required is larger and an additional chilled water tank and heat exchanger are needed.

Soy-Yogurt Bacterial Culture
This proprietary culture makes great tasting soy-yogurt and does not require the addition of sweetener for the curding process. If you have been repeatedly disappointed with the cultures for making soy-yogurt, you will be pleasantly surprised with ours.
