2. FERMENTED FOODS
A variety of foods are produced by
fermentation. Initially it was noted that
natural growth of microorganisms on
cereals improved their nutritive value.
Later emphasis was given on obtaining
quality product from this process. Later
the microorganisms were isolated and
strains were improved
3. ADVANTAGES OF FERMENTED
FOODS• Improved flavour
• Elimination of undesirable
flavour
• Improvement in texture of
foods
• Enhanced nutritional value
• Increased digestibility
• Reduced cooking time
• Valuable supplements
5. CHEESE
Cheese is the curd or substance formed by
the coagulation of milk of certain
mammals by rennet or similar enzyme in
the presence of lactic acid produced by
added or adventitious micro-organisms,
from which part of the moisture has been
removed by cutting, warming and pressing
which has been shaped in mould and then
ripened by holding for sometime at
suitable temperature and humidity.
7. A)Coagulation type
1.Acid only:
They utilize an acid only for coagulating the protein in the
milk.Theese cheese typically have high moisture and contain
significant quantities of residual lactose.eg: Cottage cheese,
Cream cheese.
2.Heat and acid
They have a heat step in the precipitation of casein protein of
milk. Because of the heat step, these cheese are typically a bit
lower in moisture and lower quantities of residual lactose.Eg
Ricotta
3.Acid and enzymes
Acid is produced by added or naturally occurring lactic acid
bacteria and coagulating enzyme is added to form curd. The
8. B) RIPENING METHOD
CHEESE TYPE RIPENING METHOD EXAMPLES
Fresh unripened cheese Not aged and consumed
shortly after
manufacture
Cottage
Soft surface mold
ripened cheese
Use LAB to produce acid
in milk and an enzyme
to cause coagulation of
milk protein
Camembert
Internally mold ripened Ripened by growth of
blue green mold
Penicillium
roquefortii.Curd is
formed by acid
produced from bacteria
and coagulation occurs
by addition of rennet
Roquefort
9. Surface bacteria ripened Rely upon the surface
smear of bacteria and
yeast to form flavour and
texture of cheese
Limburger
Internally bacteria
ripened stirred curd
They have acid produced
by LAB and rennet curd
formation followed by
washing of curd to
reduce acid
development
Cheddar
Internally ripened curd Rely upon LAB and
Rennet to form curd
Cheddar
Internally ripened
secondary culture
Secondary culture of
bacterium that utilizes
lactic acid to produce
carbon di oxide is added.
CO2 forces open the
eyes of holed cheese.

1. Very hard ( grating ) : moisture
< 35% on matured cheese and
ripened by bacteria e.g. parmesan,
romano .
2. Hard : moisture < 40%
a) Ripened by bacteria, without eyes :
cheddar
b) Ripened bacteria, with eyes : swiss
11. 3. Semi-hard : Moisture 40.4 %
a. Ripened principally by
bacteria : brick
b. Ripened by bacteria and
surface microorganisms :
Limburger
c. Ripened principally by blue
mould
Soft : Moisture 47%
a. Unripened : cottage
b. Ripened : Neufchatel

13. Cheese is produced from milk.This is
carried out by a process of dehydration
wherein casein and fats are concentrated 5-
15 fold. Cheese production is very
complicated and broadly involves four
stages:
1.Acidification of milk.
2.Coagulum formation.
3.Separation of curd from whey.
4.Ripening of cheese.

18. HEALTH BENEFITS OF CHEESE
• Helps prevent cancer.
• Strengthen bones and cartilages.
• Excellent food for gaining weight.
• Beneficial in maintaining healthy and
strong teeth.
• Promotes deposition of calcium and
phosphorous in teeth.
• Reduces risk of osteoporosis in post
menopausal women.
20. What is yogurt?
Yogurt is a controlled fermentation of milk
product in which a mixed culture of Lactobacillus
bulgaricus (or occasionally L. acidophilus) and
and Streptococcus thermophiles produce lactic
21. The lactic acid lowers the pH. and makes it tart
and causes the milk protein to thicken. The partial
digestion of the milk when these bacteria ferment
milk makes yogurt easily digestible. In addition,
these bacteria will help settle GI upset including
that which follows oral antibiotic therapy by
replenishing non-pathogenic flora of the
gastrointestinal tract.
23. Types of Yogurt
Set Yogurt- this type of yogurt is
incubated and cooled in the final
package. Firm “jelly like” texture.
Stirred Yogurt- incubated in a
tank and final coagulum is
broken by stirring before
cooling. Less firm then set
yogurt (like a thick cream). A
little reformation of coagulum
will occur after packaging.
Drinking Yogurt- also has
coagulum broken before
cooling. Very little
reformation of coagulum
will occur.
24. Types of Yogurt (continued)
Frozen Yogurt- Incubated like
stirred yogurt. Cooling is
achieved by pumping through a
freezer like ice cream. Has a
texture like ice cream.
Concentrated Yogurt-
incubated like stirred
yogurt. After coagulum is
broken, some water is
boiled off. Produces rough
and gritty textures.
Flavored Yogurt- Flavors
are added just before
yogurt is poured into pots.
Add in usually contain
about 50 % sugar.
27. Health benefits of yogurt
• It is easier to digest than milk
• It is packed with vitamins
• It is a rich source of protein
• It may help to lose weight
• It boosts immune system
• It is good for digestive system
• It is good for bones
• It may help lower blood pressure
29. It defined as a semi solid product obtained by draining off the
whey from the curd prepared by acid fermentation of
cow’s/buffalo’s/mixed/skimmed/standardized milk or
reconstituted milk.
Shrikhand is the product obtained from chakka or skimmed milk
chakka to which milk fat is added.
It shall not contain any added colouring and artificial flavouring
substances.
It is prepared by mixing chakka (strained curd) with sugar, colour,
flavour, spices and other ingredients like fruit pulp, nuts etc. to
form soft homogeneous mass.
It is very popular in the state of Gujarat, Maharashtra and part of
Karnataka.
