Part of it is probably due to the bacterial fermentation: acid is produced, which clots the milk just like if you let it go sour.
The proteins start clinging to each other and also absorb more water.
However, I find commercial yogurt is also heated, further denaturing the proteins and making the product more thick than home-made yogurt ever gets.

∙ 14y agoThe thickness of yogurt is largely due to moisture; most recipes call for straining the yogurt in a cloth to remove excess water which makes it more viscous. It may be that Stonyfield Farm makes their yogurt with less water than most. Powdered milk can also be used thicken yogurt.

How is yogurt formed?
Milk has a yogurt culture added to it, and is kept at the correct temperature for the bacteria of the culture to grow. The milk is converted to yogurt. You can then add any flavorings or additions you like.
Why it is necessary to add a small amount of yogurt to convert milk into yogurt?
Yogurt converts the milk sugar to lactic acid, driving the pH down. The low pH causes the milk proteins to coagulate into a soft curd. So basically yogurt is milk transformed by harmless bacteria.
Why will the yogurt not occur when you add a antibiotics?
The antibiotics prevent the growth of the bacteria that is needed to make the milk become yogurt.

How many 1 3 cups make 1 cup?
Techically speaking, 3. ;-) If you are looking for substituting the milk with yogurt, you need to remember the consistancy of yogurt is quite a lot thicker than milk. I would suggest you use 3/4 cups of yogurt and add water to 1 cup. See if that is still the same consistency of milk. Ratio 3:4. I substituted yogurt equally to milk one time, and had to add water to the mixture. It does create a different texture than what milk would be. Very good flavour though.
Can you use yoghurt instead of evaporated milk in pumpkin pie?
Yes, it should be just fine to do so. But you need to use 'regular' yogurt instead of the thicker types of yogurt, such as Greek yogurt. Otherwise, the filling for the pie will be too dense and dry.

How do you make yogurt from sour milk?
heat milk to make sterile, add milk proteins and stir well, add a starter culture of lactobacillus bacteria which ferments lactose (a sugar found in milk) in to lactic acid. This acid lowers the pH of the milk making it acidic. the milk proteins solidify (coagulate). you have now produced raw yogurt which you can add fruit and flavourings to.
