This study was carried out to clear up the cause of low-acid producing phenomenon occurred In non-fat dry milk during liquid-yoghurt fermentation by Lactobacillus case, and to present its improving methods. All samples of non-fat dry milks which were low in TCA-soluble peptides showed low-acid production, but those high in TCA-soluble peptides showed high-acid production. The addition of trypsin-hydrolysate of Na-caseinate to non-fat dry milk showed some improving effect on acid production but that of papain-hydrolysate did not show any improving effect and that of bacterical neutral protease-hydrolysate showed some inhibitory effect. The improving effects on growth and acid production of lactic acid bacteria were more prominent when the trypsin-hydrolysate of Na-caseinate was added. to such fermenting system in which the levels of TCA-soluble peptides and the proteolytic ability of starter bacteria were abnormally low. The liquid-yoghurt made with non-hydrolysed Na-caseinate and defective non-fat dry milk showed precipitate occurrence but that with trypsin-hydrolysate of Na-caseinate and defective non-fat dry milk did not make any precipitate during storage as with normal non-fat dry milk.
