Health benefits 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
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).
These
bacteria produce lactic acid in the milk culture, decreasing its pH and
causing it to congeal. The bacteria also produce compounds that give
YUGO its distinctive flavor. An additional effect of the lowered pH is
the incompatibility of the acidic environment with many other types of
harmful bacteria. YUGO milk drink is a probiotic product (Probiotics are
live bacteria in yogurt,) which has great advantages on health. The
term "probiotic" originally referred to microorganisms that have effects
on other microorganisms, a usage credited to Lilly and Stilwell (1965).
Their conception of probiotics involved the notion that substances
secreted by one microorganism stimulated the growth of another
microorganism. The term was used again in 1971 by Sperti to describe
tissue extracts which stimulated microbial growth.
The
term probiotics was taken up by Parker in 1974 who defined the concept
as, “organisms and substances that have a beneficial effect on the host
animal by contributing to its intestinal microbial balance”. Later, the
definition was greatly improved by Fuller in 1989, whose explanation was
very close to the definition used today. Fuller in 1989 described
probiotics as a "live microbial feed supplement which beneficially
affects the host animal by improving its intestinal microbial balance".
He stressed two important facts of probiotics: the viable nature of
probiotics and the capacity to help with intestinal balance. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
