Answer:

The sour taste and the texture of yogurt confer the characteristic of yogurt

Step-by-step explanation:

Yogurt is formed by lactobacillus bulagaricus and Streptococcus thermophilous.

It is the product of milk which is produced by acidic fermentation of the milk

It is formed by anaerobic fermentation of lactic acid present in the milk. lactobacillus bulagaricus and Streptococcus thermophilous act as a starter culture, and its function is to ferment the lactose to produce lactic acid.

As a result increase in lactic acid production cause a decrease in pH and milk get clot and acidic taste show the characteristic of the yogurt.
