SMALL SCALE COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION PROCEDURE

2. Add 1/5 pack of lactic culture or yoghurt starter and 5 grams of sodium benzoate and stir well
3. Boils 2 litres of water to boiling point and add to the yoghurt, mix effectively
4. Cover the product with blanket and keep it undisturbed for 7 hours
5. Uncover and add the sweetener and flavour and stir further

NOTE:
Some people do not add flavour and sweetener to their yoghurt so as to save cost, but the addition of these will prove more beneficial in the long run as customers will prefer your product to theirs.

Also, some yoghurt producers use thickeners in the production of their yoghurt, thereby producing more yoghurt with the same ingredients. The result of this is that the nutritional value of the yoghurt is watered down, while the profit margin of the producers increases. The consumer won’t know the difference so you are to decide if you will use thickener or not.
