The milk will be preheated to about 65℃ for homogenization, it helps to improve the stability and consistency of  the Yogurt, and makes the Yogurt fine in texture and good taste.

4、Yogurt inoculation fermentation unit

The pasteurized milk needs to be inoculated immediately with the mixed starter of Bulgarian bacteria and Streptococcus thermophilus.

5、Yogurt cooling and filling unit

The inoculated or fermented yogurt can be cooled by ice water in a jacketed tank, and then sent to the filling room for filling. The packing forms of yogurt mainly include porcelain bottles, glass bottles, plastic cups, plastic bags, composite paper boxes, plastic buckets, etc.
