Fermented milk, yogurts, and whey beverages are products that are very appreciated in Brazil, ranging from infants to older people. They are dairy products with similar technological processes, but differ in chemical composition, ingredients used, and sensory characteristics. This chapter will focus on the production of fermented milk, yogurts, and whey beverages in Brazil, discussing the regulatory aspects, consumer market, processing steps, and products available on the market, including those containing functional ingredients (probiotic and prebiotic), or for particular nutritional uses (lactose-free and light and diet formulations). |
