Questions this course answers
What sugar do yogurt cultures ferment?
Lactose is the main sugar in milk and is converted to lactic acid.
Why is milk cooled before cultures are added?
The culture needs an incubation temperature rather than pasteurization heat.
What forms the yogurt gel?
Acid and heat change protein interactions so they form a network.
How is stirred yogurt made smooth?
Stirring breaks the gel and cooling slows further fermentation.
