North America Yogurt Market: Investments in Emerging Economies to Augur Well

Yogurt is a diary product. Yogurt is produced by fermentation of milk by bacterial treatment. The bacteria in the presence of lactose in milk, produces lactic acid. The lactic acid produced by the bacterial treatment reacts with milk protein to impart the texture and taste of yogurts. Yogurt is generally produced from cows’ milk as it is readily available all across the world. Non-dairy yogurts are also gaining popularity among consumers. Non-dairy yogurts are prepared from non-dairy sources such as plant oils. Soy oil and coconut oil are the major sources of non-dairy yogurts.
