Give scientific reasons:Lactobacilli are used for making yoghurt from milk.
Answer»
Lactobacilli convert lactose, the sugar in the milk, into lactic acid. This process is called fermentation.
As a result, the pH of milk decreases causing coagulation of milk proteins.
Thus, milk proteins are separated from other constituents of milk and milk changes into yoghurt.
Yoghurt has a specific sour taste due to lactic acid. The low pH destroys harmful microbes present in the milk. Therefore, Lactobacilli are used for making yoghurt from milk.
