Best Answer

Bacterial fermentation of the lactose in milk produces lactic acid, which acts on milk protein to give yogurt its texture and tang.

Steps of yogurt fermentation:

Milk is heated to denature enzymes. Starter culture and other ingredients such as sugar are added to milk and mixture is incubated at 42 degrees C. During this step, the bacteria from the culture (lactobacillus and streptococcus) start to multiply and make lactic acid. The yoghurt is then cooled and refrigerated.

bacteria ferment the lactose (milk sugar) into lactic acid. this thickens (curdles) the milk. lactic acid also gives yoghurt its characteristic flavour.

Can you use all purpose cream as an alternative to whipping cream when making yogurt?

Recipes I have used, and that came with my yogurt maker say you can use: Whole milk 2% milk 1% milk Fat free milk Soy Milk or Almond milk to make yogurt. I have never seen a recipe using cream for yogurt making. So I think all purpose cream would make a heavy yogurt and so would whipping cream. When I made yogurt using 2% milk it is much lighter than yogurt make with whole milk and takes longer to cure. The yogurt maker suggested 10 hours for whole milk yogurt and 12 hours for 2% yogurt. Good luck.
