Effects of hydrocolloids and processing conditions on acid whey production with reference to Greek yogurt

摘要

Background: Greek yogurt is one of the most popular products in the overall yogurt category and has gained immense popularity due to its higher nutritional values compared to traditional yogurt. Greek yogurt is defined as a strained yogurt in which yogurt is concentrated by removing acidic whey from the solid part. This process creates large volumes of acid whey as by-product that cannot be readily utilized nor disposed of easily.
