  • Process for producing fermented milk products
    Patent number: 4938973
    Abstract: Fermented milk products, such as yoghurt and buttermilk, are produced by fermentation of a suitable raw material, such as milk, with different microorganism species, in such a way that microorganisms that are beneficial in the production stage but unfavourably affect the product quality during storage, are kept apart from the fermentation mixture by means of a semipermeable membrane. The process can be carried out in a fed batch system or continuously, preferably with continous pH control. The products so obtained have improved taste and storage properties.
