Abstract
Fermented milk with a controlled acidity increase during storage and transportation is disclosed. The fermented milk can be manufactured by inoculating raw milk with a nisin-producing lactic acid bacterium belonging to the genus Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis together with other lactic acid bacteria to be used for the fermentation and fermenting the raw milk. Nisin produced and accumulated in the fermented milk suppresses the growth of bacteria which are involved in the formation of acids, thus controlling the acidity increase during storage and transportation.
