Streptococcus thermophilu

Streptococcus thermophilus is a type of bacteria commonly used in food production, particularly in dairy products like yoghurt and cheese. This ingredient is not plant-based or synthetic but rather a natural bacterium that plays a crucial role in the fermentation process of certain foods.

Manufacturers introduce Streptococcus thermophilus into dairy products during the production process. This bacterium helps to break down lactose, the natural sugar found in milk, into lactic acid. This fermentation not only gives dairy products their tangy flavour but also helps in preserving them by creating an acidic environment that inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria.

You might spot Streptococcus thermophilus on food labels of various dairy products such as yoghurt, cheese, and fermented milk. This ingredient serves as a probiotic, aiding in digestion and promoting gut health. It also contributes to the creamy texture and tangy taste of these products, making them a staple in many people's diets for both their flavour and potential health benefits.
