Described are processes of preparing plant milk-based yogurt and yogurt products. The process does not require the addition of lactase and thus makes production of lactose-free yogurt efficient and economic. Addition of a soluble fiber, in certain embodiments, can substantially reduce the fermentation time. Yogurt and yogurt products prepared by such processes are also described in the present disclosure.

The present invention relates to a salt replacement product comprising homogeneous particles of: (a) 5-70 wt % of one or more extracts from fungi, like from mycelia or mushrooms; (b) 10-80 wt % of a chloride salt of a metal that is acceptable in food, chosen from calcium, magnesium, or mixtures thereof; and (c) optionally one or more powder stabilizing additives. The invention furthermore relates to a process for making the product, and to use of the product for salt replacement in baked dough products.
