Yakult Trip

   Hi!  

             On last Monday, my classmates and I are given the chance to visit a well-known company of cultured milk which is Yakult in Seremban.It was our second class trip in this semester after the trip to IBS (Institute  of Bio-science).The trip was amazing and awesome.

              It was a one  and a half hour trip, which is from 10 am (arrive) until 11.30 am or so. It was my first time there. The factory looks so nice and clean.It was decorated beautifully.So it was our chance to  take a lot of nice pictures there.When we first arrived, we was given an introduction on the probiotics and the bacteria used in their Yakult milk. The bacteria was Lactobacillus Casei Shirota. Lacto basically means milk, bacillus is the shape of it , Casei means cheese and Shirota is the founder of the bacteria. It is shown that the bacteria can survive gastric juice and helps to enhance our immune system.

              Then, we went for a tour that shows the factory and the process  involves in making the cultured milk.It uses a lot of work power and machinery to produce a single bottle of Yakult. I kinda was amazed with the machines and how systematic it was. It could produce a lot of Yakult in a day to be sell all over Malaysia.Hence, I felt the urge to buy a packet or two of the milk and I did. I was very delightful.After pictures being taken ,we headed back to UPM.  I hope we could to this again since not only was it fun, I also gain a lot of extra knowledge from it.
