[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] This invention provides an adjustable acidity fermentation device for fermented milk. Firstly, it precisely controls the fermentation temperature via a heating wire, and secondly, it adjusts the carbon dioxide concentration to effectively control the acidity of the fermented milk. The heating wire provides a stable heat source, ensuring that lactic acid bacteria metabolize efficiently at the optimal temperature. Simultaneously, by adjusting the carbon dioxide concentration, the growth environment of the bacteria is optimized, inhibiting or promoting specific metabolic pathways, thereby regulating the rate of lactic acid production. This dual-adjustment method not only improves fermentation efficiency but also precisely controls the product acidity to meet different flavor requirements, providing flexible and reliable technical support for fermented milk production.

[0017] This invention provides an adjustable acidity fermentation device for fermented milk. Through a carbon dioxide detector and a temperature sensor, it monitors the carbon dioxide concentration and temperature within the fermentation tank in real time and transmits the data synchronously to a display, achieving digital monitoring of the fermentation environment. The carbon dioxide detector accurately captures changes in carbon dioxide content, while the temperature sensor continuously records the heat source status, ensuring stable fermentation conditions. The display intuitively presents the data, facilitating timely parameter adjustments by operators to optimize the lactic acid bacteria growth environment. This data-driven monitoring method not only improves the accuracy and controllability of the fermentation process but also provides strong support for the quality stability and production efficiency of fermented milk.
