Dairy Starter Culture Market Introduction
A number of genetically modified microorganisms can be made in
industrial as well as laboratory strains of lactic acid bacteria. The genetic
modification process involves replacing of gene with a similar one which
would increase the number of copies of the gene. The genetically modified
starter culture, thus, produced are added in the dairy products during the
production process.
On the basis of product type, the global dairy starter culture market has
been segmented into mesophilic bacteria and thermophilic bacteria. The
thermophilic bacteria segment led the global dairy starter culture market.
The thermophilic starters lowers down the pH balance of the dairy
products, avoids the development of spoilage microorganism and also
stimulates the syneresis. It plays an important role in the case of yogurt by
offering taste and consistency.
