Production of fermented milk from reconstituted skimmed milk

Fermented milk products produce with application of different lactic acid bacteria, these products are widely used by millions in the world. The consumption of milk products has decreased during last years; this tendency has caused the development of new generation dairy products with reduced energy value and increased functionality. The majority of fermented milk products has high-energy value as many ingredients (sugar, fruit additives, grains, seed sand nuts, chocolate, etc.) are added during production. The study results revealed that higher milk solids non-fat positively contributed to strengthening the organoleptic and structural properties of fermented milk. Skimmed milk powder should be a suitable alternative to raw skimmed milk in reconstituted dairy products production.
