How do the cultures stay viable in the sachets?
The cultures are freeze dried which means all the moisture is extracted and the cultures can ‘hibernate’ without losing much of their viability. We are currently carrying out testing to prove that lactic acid and probiotic cultures are much more stable and therefore more viable when stored in a dehydrated system (i.e. EasiYo yogurt base) than in made-up form such as store bought yogurt – watch this space for developments!
