This yogurt is commonly known in some form in Indonesia, began to thin and usually drunk, until thick like ice cream eaten by the spoon. Yogurt is made by certain bacteria enter into the warmed milk to about 50 degrees celsius. This bacteria, which then makes the structure become more viscous yogurt and make sense of sour milk. Yogurt-making process is not complicated, just need a sterile place, so bacteria can grow well and eventually turned into yogurt milk as we know it. After the milk has thickened, then cooled and then added a variety of materials such as sugar or sweet fruit to reduce the sour yogurt taste when consumed

Yogurt comes from central European region, specifically Turkey, and at first, used a variety of milk at all, not only milk cow, goat and buffalo milk is often used as a yogurt maker. Goat's milk as the basic material of the yogurt to make yogurt sweeter and less sour taste, because the lactose content is not high in goat milk, so the amount of lactose is converted into lactic acid slightly decreased. Buffalo milk was widely used in Sumatra. Sumatra has a kind of traditional yogurt called Dadiah and are usually sold in tubes of bamboo as a container of this Dadiah.

Kefir



If Kefir is always to be found in liquid form, although it was also a bit sour. Traditionally, in the Caucasus or Eastern Europe. Traditionally, milk that is used is cow's milk, sheep or goats. This milk is usually made by mixing milk with kefir nerds into a bag of animal skin. Pouch is then hung in the doorway of the house, and everyone who passed this threshold will shake the bag, so the culprit will be mixed with kefir and does not clot in the milk was.

Prickly kefir is a mixture of bacteria and yeast that makes the appearance of these higher-grained kefir-grains. Uniquely, the culprit is not fussy kefir, soy milk can be made into soy kefir, even many who say that camel milk can be made into kefir.

Because kefir materials that can vary, and also contain bacteria and yeasts that form a higher-kefir, the kefir efficacy was difficult to tell, but clearly, not be much different from the general properties of yogurt.
