How is probiotic yoghurt beneficial for the body?
Accordion toggleProbiotics are microorganisms that produce lactic acid while breaking down carbohydrates such as glucose or lactose.
They break down proteins without causing spoilage.They do not produce harmful substances in the body and help activate beneficial microorganisms in the intestines, promoting for health.
Probiotics suppress the growth of pathogens and spoilage bacteria that cause intestinal diseases, diarrhea, abdominal bloating, and indigestion, contributing to a cleaner intestinal environment.
The organic acids produced by probiotics lower intestinal pH, and especially acetic acid from bifidobacteria inhibits other bacteria more effectively than lactic acid.

Is probiotic yoghurt effective for osteoporosis?
Accordion toggleWhen blood calcium levels drop, calcium stored in bones or teeth is released into the bloodstream, decreasing bone density and weakening bones.
Fermented dairy products, made from milk, (a complete nutrient food), are fermented to increase absorbability into the human body.
By consuming fermented dairy products, you absorb the complete nutrition of milk in addition to probiotic benefits, which can help with calcium deficiency and osteoporosis.Calcium also supports blood clotting, hormone secretion, cell division, immune function, nerve and muscle regulation, and heart function.

Can I heat up the yoghurt before drinking it?
Accordion toggleSome people wonder if heating yogurt before eating is okay, and yes, it is possible.
However, this is under the condition that you eat it immediately after heating.
If yoghurt is left at temperatures between 25-40℃ for an extended period, probiotic activity increases, resulting in stronger acidity.
Excessive heating causes separation, and probiotics die if the temperature exceeds 50°C. -
The tofu hasn’t spoiled even after a week. Were any other additives used?
Accordion toggleSengmyongmul Tofu does not contain added preservatives.
As a delicate product, tofu typically spoils after being left at room temperature for several days, and during warmer seasons, it may spoil even before the expiration date if distribution conditions are poorly managed.Despite its sensitivity, Sengmyongmul Tofu can maintain a shelf life of up to six days without preservatives.
This is made possible by the use of sterile-grade drinking water (first-class groundwater), carefully selected and refined ingredients, hygienic production facilities, and heat treatment technology that minimizes the intrusion of microorganisms during manufacturing.However, if any of these conditions are not properly controlled, the tofu can spoil quickly.
Conversely, when all conditions are well maintained, the tofu may remain fresh even beyond the six-day shelf life. -

Why does the color of soy sauce darken over time?
Accordion toggleThe change in the color of soy sauce is a natural phenomenon, similar to aging, that occurs as fermentation and aging progress.
The browning of soy sauce occurs due to the formation of brown melanoidins, which result from a reaction between amino acids (derived from proteins) and sugars (derived from carbohydrates).This natural process causes the soy sauce to transition from a pale yellow to a slightly darker yellow that stimulates the palate, and eventually to a rich brown color.
To delay this browning, it is best to minimize air exposure and store the soy sauce in the refrigerator.Doing so not only helps suppress color change but also helps preserve various nutrients and beneficial components that contribute to health by maintaining a lower temperature over time.
