Yogurt and production method therefor production method for extracellular functional product of lactic acid bacteria and production increasing agent for extracellular functional product of lactic acid bacteria
The present invention addresses the problem of providing a novel method with which the production amount of a lactic acid bacteria derived functional product can be efficiently increased. A yogurt production method according to the present invention is provided with a pH buffer agent adding step and a fermentation step. In the pH buffer agent adding step a pH buffer agent is added to a yogurt starting material. In the fermentation step lactic acid bacteria are used to cause fermentation of the yogurt starting material having the pH buffer agent added thereto.
