Yogurt, yoghurt, or yoghourt (/jort/ or /jt/; from Turkish: yourt; other

spellings listed below) is a food produced by bacterial fermentation ofmilk. The

bacteria used to make yogurt are known as "yogurt cultures". Fermentation
of lactose by these bacteria produces lactic acid, which acts on milk protein to give
yogurt its texture and its characteristic tang.[1]
Worldwide, cow's milk, the protein of which is mainly casein, is most commonly used
to
make
yogurt.
Milk
from water
buffalo, goats, ewes, mares, camels,
and yaks however, is also used to produce yogurt in various parts of the world.
Dairy

a

of Lactobacillus
delbrueckii subsp.bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus bacteria. In addition,
otherlactobacilli and bifidobacteria are also sometimes added during or after culturing
yogurt. Some countries require yogurt to contain a certain amount of colony-forming
units of microorganisms.[2]
In Western culture, the milk is first heated to about 80 C (176 F) to kill any
undesirable bacteria[citation needed] and to denature the milk proteins so that they set
together rather than form curds. In some places, such as parts of India & Bangladesh
curds are a desired component and milk is not pasteurized but boiled. The milk is then
cooled to about 45 C (112 F).[citation needed] The bacterial culture is added, and
the temperature of 45 C is maintained for 4 to 7 hours to allow fermentation.
