Yogurt is produced by incubating milk by adding to it a small amount of culture composed of lactic acid bacteria usually Lactobacillus Bulgaricus & Streptococcus Thermophilus . At KAROUN DAIRIES, in a delicate process, these microorganisms transform the natural sugar found in milk (Lactose) into lactic acid. As they develop in the milk, these beneficial bacteria coagulate the milk and create the flavors that give yogurt its particular quality and taste. |

Nowadays, there is a growing body of evidence that probiotics or foods that contain live bacteria are good for the health. Diet is one of the most important factors influencing the complex processes of ageing. Fermented milk has its place in the dietary prevention of age-related disorders. With regard to nutrition, fermented milk helps to maintain food and water intake, which are often reduced in older people. |

Scientists have proven that lactic acid bacteria found in yogurt can pass through the various barriers in the digestive tract and arrive in the intestine in their live state helping restore and maintain the intestinal flora so essential to digestion and good health.
Live acid bacteria also prevent undesirable cultures from forming in the finished product, thereby keeping it pure and fresh. |

Yogurt, with live and active cultures may help also decrease symptoms of
lactose intolerance. This is why many people whose body has difficulty
in making use of lactose are able to consume yogurt with great
pleasure.
Encouraging early results suggest that fermented milk has a positive
effect on the immune defense system, intestinal transit, muscle mass
and cardiovascular disease. Other avenues that merit investigation
include colon cancer and cataract.
To be truly effective, it is
important that the beneficial bacteria in the yogurt
are alive and
you consume them regularly in large numbers.
Fresh
yogurts containing live and active cultures are always kept refrigerated
before consumption and have a relatively short shelf life.
Heat-treated yogurts, on
the other hand, do not contain live cultures and have longer shelf lives
but the health benefits derived from live cultures are not found in
them.
Thus you should beware of
consuming heat treated yogurt, be it set or stirred, plain, flavored or
mixed with fruits.
Read attentively on the
packaging of LABNE ( strained yogurt ).
If it mentions "heat treated
after incubation", most probably it does not contain live cultures.
UHT treated Ayran (yogurt
drink) does not contain any live beneficial bacteria in it.
KAROUN DAIRIES' objective has
always been to make available to every individual fresh dairy products of
premium quality by applying hygienic practices. We guarantee that all our
fermented products contain live active cultures beneficial to your health. WE CARE
