Yogurt Market Overview
Yogurt Market size was estimated at $132.4 billion in 2020, projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.6% during the forecast period
2021-2026. People's growing knowledge of the health advantages of yogurt, as
well as their growing awareness of nutritious foods, are key factors driving Yogurt
Industry development. Lactic acid bacteria, such as Lactobacillus bulgaricus and
Streptococcus thermophilus, forms yogurt, a popular coagulated dairy product.
It is prepared by fermenting milk with cultures like Lactobacillus bulgaricus
and Streptococcus thermophilus. These bacteria create lactic acid during yogurt
formation, which lowers the pH and causes milk protein to coagulate. Carbonyl
molecules, non-volatile or volatile acids, and exopolysaccharides, among other
metabolites, have a significant impact on yogurt quality. Protein, calcium,
vitamins B6 and B12, riboflavin, potassium, and magnesium are all abundant in
yogurt. Yogurt has numerous health benefits owing to its high nutritional
value. It aids in the improvement of immunity, deterrence of type 2 diabetes,
strengthening of bones and teeth, prevention of digestive disorders, and
reduction of blood pressure and bad cholesterol. Manufacturers have also
created a broad range of probiotic, stirred, creamy, and pulp-laced yogurt
variations in recent years. The growing global demand for functional
(probiotic) dairy foods is fueled in part by consumer interest in
health-promoting diets. Yogurt is thought to be the best vehicle for delivering
healthy functional nutrients. Owing to its health-promoting characteristics as
an anti-stress, anti-hypertensive, and anti-diabetic agent, gamma-amino-butyric
acid has promise as a bioactive component in functional meals. Streptococcus
thermophilus is a non-pathogenic, facultative anaerobic lactic acid (LAB)
bacterium that has a long history of usage in the home and industrial production
of coagulated dairy products, particularly yogurt. Streptococcus thermophilus,
as a dairy starter, may quickly convert lactose to lactic acid, causing a fast
drop in pH and coagulation of milk proteins (casein). Furthermore, this
bacteria provides the yogurt with a variety of good processing qualities,
including taste, acidity, viscosity, and water holding capacity.
