The invention discloses a process and base material for producing yogurt and yogurt produced by the process, The process includes the steps of S1, preheating 10-30wt% of
raw material milk to 50-60 DEGC, and removing fat to obtain
skimmed milk and
single cream, wherein the
fat content in the
skimmed milk is smaller than 0.6%; S2, regulating ore content in the
skimmed milk to be smaller than 7.2mg / L; S3, subjecting the skimmed milk to Maillard
browning; S4, subjecting the rest 70-90wt% of
raw material milk to dissolving, and mixing with the skimmed milk obtained after the
browning; S5, subjecting the mixed
raw material milk to degassing, homogenizing, sterilizing, cooling and
fermentation to obtain the yogurt. The process has the advantages that by regulating
metal ion content in the raw material milk, the activity of fibrinolysin in the raw material milk during the
Maillard reaction is affected so as to affect the product generation of the
Maillard reaction, the processed milk is mixedwith the raw material milk which is not subjected to component regulation to perform
fermentation, and the produced yogurt is high in
furfural content and good in sensory quality.
