HEALTH BENEFIT OF YUGO “YOGHURT BASE MILK DRINK”
INTRODUCTION: YUGO milk drink is a yoghurt base drink, which undergo fermentation process before further processing, the major raw material for production of YUGO are milk, water, sugar and starter culture. Fermentation process involve is lactic acid fermentation. Lactic acid fermentation is used in many areas of the world to produce foods that cannot be produced through other methods.
The most commercially important genus of lactic acid-fermenting bacteria is Lactobacillus. Two of the most common applications of lactic acid fermentation are in the production of yogurt and sauerkraut.
The main method of producing “YUGO” yoghurt base milk drink is through the lactic acid fermentation of milk with harmless bacteria. The primary bacteria used are typically Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus, and NAFDAC law requires all yogurts drink to contain these two cultures (though others may be added as probiotic cultures).
