Answers:
Yogurt or Curd, is a fermented milk product which originated in Turkey.
It consists of a mixed culture of Lactobacillus bulgaricus (or occasionally L. acidophilus ) and Streptococcus thermophilus, which produce lactic acid during fermentation of lactose.
The lactic acid lowers the pH and makes it tart and causes the milk protein to thicken.
The partial digestion of the milk when these bacteria ferment milk makes yogurt easily digestible. In addition, these bacteria will help settle GI upset including those, which follow oral antibiotic therapy by replenishing non-pathogenic flora of the gastrointestinal tract.
Hope this helps.
milk is curdled by the addition of rennet an enzyme found
inside the stomach. cheese was dicovered when a traveler
had a goat stomach bag of milk get warm,sloshed all about
and the rennet in the stomach curdled the milk into
curds and whey when he poured out the whey and pressed
the curds, he got cheese, the rest is history and tinkering with the basic recipe.
