Abstract: The ultrastructure of yoghourt was investigated with SEM and TEM. The ultrastructure of yoghourt gel showeditself a tridimensional fibronet structure. There were a large number of regular holes in the fibronet of regular hexagon shape. Thetridimensional fibronet structure was supported by denatured casein granules. The fat globules and lactobacilli were inlaid in thetridimensional fibronet structure.

Key words: ultrastructure, yoghourt, milk, SEM TEM
