The variety of yogurt products on the market is dazzling. When consumers purchase yogurt, they can clearly choose yogurt according to their own purposes.

Yoghurt is a product made from milk as raw material through sterilization, cooling and inoculation. Compared with milk, yogurt has more complete nutrients and is easier to digest and absorb. The lactose contained in yogurt is partially decomposed into galactose and glucose, which are then converted into organic acids such as lactic acid. Yogurt also contains polysaccharides, minerals, aromatic substances, flavor substances, etc. outside the cell wall. These substances play an important role in providing body nutrition, regulating intestinal microecology, and promoting human health.

Yoghurt can be divided into: flavored fermented milk, fermented milk, flavored yogurt, and yogurt according to the national standard. Flavor indicates that other substances have been added to the product. The word "unflavored" means that the only ingredients are raw milk and baking powder.

The difference between fermented milk and yogurt lies in the addition of bacteria and the difference in bacterial flora. Yoghurt must be added with Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus (Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus), while fermented milk can be added with other legal strains.
