When making homemade yogurt one needs to have either freeze dried starter culture or a container of plain yogurt with active yogurt culture. Once an individual makes a first batch of yogurt, a small part of it can then be used to start the next batch.

No, because the milk can't ferment properly without lactic acid which bacteria produce.

What is the role of adding starter culture to milk when making yogurt?

Starter cultures are the bacteria used to turn milk into yogurt. As the starter cultures (bacteria) start to grow, acid is produced which curdles, or thickens, the milk. Starter cultures also give the yogurt its flavor when it produces things compounds like lactic acid. There is also a probiotic effect from starter cultures as it can improve the health of your digestive system.

If you freeze yogurt will the live active cultures still be good?

The live culture in the yogurt does not die when frozen, it becomes dormant instead. After you thaw or eat the yogurt, the dormant culture comes back to life.The amount of 'live culture' in commercially sold 'frozen yogurt' may only be a fraction of culture compared to regular yogurt. It has to do with the manufacturing process, and not the effect of temperature.The 'live culture' does die when the yogurt is heated. Heat treated or pasteurized yogurt have no live culture.I am from India. I always make Dahi (yogurt) at home. I whip and freeze a part of yogurt to start next batch. I thaw out the frozen yogurt in the refrigerator, whip it and use it as a starter for the next batch. When the yogurt is frozen, it does lose the texture. That's is the reason i whip the yogurt before freezing and after thawing.


Is yogurt made in a one of the household yogurt maker machines just as healthy for you as store bought yogurt?

Yes it is. ---- Yogurt made in a household yogurt maker will contain only the ingredients you put in it (usually wholemilk, culture, and maybe some fruitjuice). Storebought yogurt can contain starches, flavour enhancers, preservatives, artificial colours ... It won't necessarily contain all these things (or any of them) - but it could. Homemade yogurt will always be as healthy as shopbought, and often healthier.
