Yoghurt contains protein.
The fermentation process of yogurt causes about 20% of the sugars and proteins in the milk to be hydrolyzed into small molecules (such as galactose and lactic acid, small peptide chains and amino acids, etc.). The fat content in the milk is average. It is 3% to 5%. After fermentation, the fatty acids in milk can be doubled compared to raw milk. These changes make yogurt easier to digest and absorb, and the utilization rate of various nutrients can be improved. Yogurt is fermented from pure milk. In addition to retaining all the nutrients of fresh milk, during the fermentation process, lactic acid bacteria can also produce a variety of vitamins necessary for human nutrition, such as VB1, VB2, VB6, VB12, etc.
