| Title | Curd strip that can set customized and consistent quality curd anytime anywhere! |
| Knowhow is available for | A novel process for the preparation of curd using bacteria attached to PVDF membranes |
| Summary | CSIR-CSMCRI has developed a curd strip that can be used to set curd of same quality and consistency, and allows for easy customization in the flavour profile and nutritional value of the curd. The curd strip uses a modified PVDF membrane as a substrate to attach bacteria. The developed technique allows for attachment of any type of bacteria (depending on the nutritional requirement/desired quality of curd) in viable condition to the PVDF membrane. For example, one can attach probiotic bacteria to make probiotic curd. To prepare curd, one curd strip (5×5 cm) can be dipped in 500 mL of warm milk (45°C), and set aside for 6-8 hours to set, depending on the ambient environmental temperature. When not in use, the curd strip with lyophilized bacteria can be stored in the refrigerator at 4°C, and shelf life studies have shown that the strip remains active for up to 6 months. |
| Advantages | The composition on the strip can be easily adjusted as per need, such as calcium-supplemented curd.
Set consistent quality curd everytime even without the inoculum.
Easily set vegan curd even at home from non diary milk.
The nutritive value of the curd can be customized to meet personal nutrition requirements, for example, calcium requirements for pregnant or lactating mothers.
The curd strip can also be used to form curd on the go from milk powder and hot water. |
