Yoghurt (or sometimes written
yogurt), also known as
sour milk is a result of
fermentation process of milk. It is known that
yoghurt contains two types of probiotics,
Lactobacillus and
Bifidobachterium.
Yoghurt can be made from any
milk, including
soy milk. But modern production is currently dominated by dairy
milk.
Fermentation of lactose contained in
milk produces lactic acid, which plays a role in milk protein to produce a gel-like texture and a unique odor in the
yoghurt.
Yoghurt is often sold as with no flavor, however,
yoghurt with taste of
fruit, vanilla or
chocolate are also popular.
