야쿠르트

야쿠르트 (Yakult, ヤクルト ,Yakuruto^?) 는 일본 Yakult Honsha Co., Ltd. (株式会社ヤクルト本社 ,Kabushiki-gaisha Yakuruto Honsha^?) (TYO: 2267)에서 탈지우유(skimmed milk)에 유산균( bacteria Lactobacillus casei Shirota)을 섞어 만든 음료이다. 요거트와 다른 상표명을 만들 때 에스페란토어로 "요거트"를 발음한 데서 이 이름을 지었다는 것이 정설이다. 쿄토대학 의대를 졸업한 미노루 시로타가 1930년에 만든 이 회사는 지금 다양한 유산균 관련 음료를 제조, 판매하고 있고 일본에서는 토ㅋ 야쿠르트 스왈로즈 프로야구팀을 소유하고 있다.

Standard Yakult contains 18g of sugar for every 100g, but comes in 65 mL bottles. This concentration is higher than the level defined as “HIGH” by the UK Food Standards Agency (described for concentrations of sugar above 15g per 100g)[7]. As a comparison Coca-Cola and orange juices are in the range of 10g of sugar per 100g, but with a serving size usually greater than 250 ml, their total sugar quantity is therefore much higher than Yakult. Based on the content of milk protein (1.4 g per 100 mL [8]), it is not classified as a flavoured fermented milk of the Codex Standard for Fermented Milks. However, based on the existence of many products like Yakult in the world market, a new category is going to be established into the current Codex Standard for Fermented Milks.
