Ambient yogurt technology

Dear all,

My name is Gabriele Castagnetti and I am a food technologist based in Shanghai, China.

I am looking for some help in getting information about ambient yogurt, I am looking for a technology that allows me to pack hot yogurt without the need of using aseptic filling.

If any of you is familiar with the process please let me know.

Thanks,

Gabriele

Do you mean by using barrier PET bottles/containers??

You might want to look at tetrapak - growing big time in China

Hi Gabriele,

It can be achieved by hot filling, the yoghurt needs to be heated to around 70 C for filling. The base will need to be stabilised and you will need to look at the barrier protection (limiting moisture loss) and strength of the pots as if they are not strong enough they will implode when the yoghurt cools. 

Kind regards,

Tony
