You can drink the yogurt after it is hot.

Yoghurt can be heated. Put the yogurt package into warm water at about 45°C and slowly heat it by shaking it from side to side. When the outer package feels warm, you can drink it.

Yoghurt inoculation is carried out by cooling the milk to about 45°C immediately after sterilization. When using a mixed starter culture of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus, the temperature is maintained between 41°C and 42°C, the culture time is 2.5 to 4 hours, and the fermentation is terminated when the solidification state is reached. The fermented solidified yogurt needs to be immediately moved to a cold storage at 0°C to 4°C. Under such temperature conditions, the reproduction rate of fungi can be inhibited.

Therefore, temperatures of more than 40 degrees Celsius will not kill these beneficial bacteria. The most reasonable heating method is to use warm water of about 50 degrees Celsius and heat it slowly. However, it is worth noting that exceeding 50℃ may kill the bacteria and affect the quality of yogurt. Therefore, it is not possible to heat it with boiling water, and it is even more undesirable to heat it in a microwave oven, because microwaves will destroy the nutrition of the yogurt and also affect the taste.

Precautions for eating heated yogurt

Although heating yogurt is not harmful to the body, the heated yogurt needs to be eaten immediately because Lactic acid bacteria are very active at high temperatures. After being left for a long time, it is very likely to cause secondary fermentation of yogurt, increase acidity, and even deteriorate.

However, not all yogurt is suitable for heating and drinking. For example, solidified yogurt may produce a layer of liquid on the surface once it is heated. This is because the whey in the yogurt has separated out, which will affect the quality of the yogurt. In this case, it is best not to drink yogurt.
