Research Summary

Dairy starter culture is a mixture of live microorganisms, primarily lactic acid bacteria, used in the dairy industry to initiate the fermentation process in the production of various dairy products. These cultures play a critical role in converting lactose (milk sugar) into lactic acid, which lowers the pH of the milk and leads to the coagulation of proteins. This coagulation results in the characteristic texture and flavor of fermented dairy products such as yogurt, cheese, sour cream, and buttermilk. Different strains of lactic acid bacteria are used to create specific dairy products, each contributing unique characteristics and enhancing the product's quality. Dairy starter cultures not only aid in the preservation of dairy products but also provide health benefits, as they can produce probiotics, which are beneficial bacteria that support gut health and digestion. The controlled use of dairy starter cultures ensures the consistency, safety, and desirable taste of fermented dairy foods enjoyed by people around the world.
