INTRODUCTION
• Milk is a whitish liquid containing proteins
(2.5%), lactose (5%), fats (3.6%), water (87.5%)
and various minerals and vitamins (0.7%)
• The milk produced by cows, goats and other
animals is used for human consumption.
• Milk is extremely perishable and various
methods are employed to preserve it, the most
prominent being fermentation.
What Is Fermentation?
• Fermentation is a metabolic process in which an
organism converts a carbohydrate such as starch
and sugar into alcohol or acid.
Defects of Fermentation
• Any form of bacterial spoilage in milk products
is very significant because dairy products have
relatively limited keeping time and very high
perishability
• If you fail to apply sufficient preservation
methods these products can go bad really quick
and result in massive losses.
Defects, cause and prevention of fermented milk products

• Defects resulting in changing of appearance


• Flavor and aroma defects
• Defects of consistency, body ,texture and
viscosity
Defects resulting in changing of appearance

• Aged
• Cream line
• Mould /yeast colonies formation
• Inhomogeneous appearance
• Gas formation
• discoloration
Cause
• Incorporation of access air
• Too low total solids
• Film is formed on the surface due to freezing of
the products
• Insufficient stirring of milk
• Absence of homogenation
• Poor hygiene lead to yeast mould growth
• Low pH
Prevention
• Avoid mechanical shaking during coagulation
• Avoid freezing of the product
• Homogenize effectively
• Maintain hygiene during production
• Use stable colouring agent
Flavor and aroma defects

• Coagulation
• Bitter taste
• Yeast/fruity flavor
• Rancid flavor
• High acid
Cause
• Inhibitors in milk
• High inoculation temperature or low inoculation
mode
• Too long storage
• Contamination with bacteria and enzyme
• Fat breakdown by microorganisms
• Too high acidification and after incubation
Prevention
• Inhibitor free milk
• Correct inoculation temperature is 23-25 degree
C
• Two weeks under cold storage
• Ensure high standard of product hygiene
• Pasteurization of milk
• Correct incubation period
Defects of consistency, body ,texture and viscosity

• Slimy
• Sandy
• Gummy
• Thin/liquid
• Wheying-off
• Soft
Cause
• Contamination with slime
• Too low incubation period
• Contraction of gel particle
• Early stirring of the coagulum
• Unsuitable stabilizers
• Too strong stirring of gel
• High acidification before cooling
Prevention
• Maintain proper starter culture ratio
• Use active starter culture
• Avoid mechanical disturbance
• Stir after cooling the product
• proper incubation
• Ensure correct amount of stabilizers
