The present invention provides Greek yogurt and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
food engineering, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: step 1,
raw material milk is subjected to pretreatment to obtain degreased
raw material milk; s2, carrying out homogenization treatment on the material obtained in the step S1; s3, blending the
single cream obtained in the step S2; then sterilizing again; then cooling; s4, sterilizing and cooling other materials obtained in S2, inoculating strains, uniformly stirring, and then standing for
fermentation; s5, stopping
fermentation, demulsifying and stirring to dilute the
emulsion; s6, passivating treatment is conducted for 60-200 s under the condition of 50-65 DEG C, and the
acid production activity of the strains is inhibited; s7, carrying out centrifugal whey removal treatment on the product prepared in the step S6, and then introducing the product into a
temporary storage tank; and S8, uniformly stirring the product obtained in the step S7 and the product prepared in the step 3, and filling. According to the preparation method of the Greek yoghurt provided by the invention, the taste of the final product is ensured through the combination of a
single cream melting process and a
passivation process.
