it is an acid NOT an alkali; in fact the formation of Yogurt corresponds to the formation of lactic acid through the action of bacteria; the pH of yogurt is about 4-5; it is certainly an acid.many places i type this question in no one gives a straight forward answer so i hope u learn something new from this. i hope it is voted 5/5 as i tried my best to answer it scientificly.
The yogurt component is acidic.
Plain unflavored yogurt is mildly acidic.
Lactic acid
Plain unflavored yogurt is mildly acidic.
Yogurt is ACIDIC Because it contains: LACTIC ACID produced by MILK BACTERIA.. :)
Yogurt is among the lowest purine containing foods and there fore the least likely to increase uric acid.
Yogurt tastes sour because of the fermentation process that occurs when bacteria in the yogurt culture feed on the sugars in the milk, producing lactic acid as a byproduct. This lactic acid gives yogurt its tangy and sour flavor.
Yogurt is slightly alkaline as it smooths the mouth when people have had an spicy dish which is mainly acid. Aicd + Alkaline(base) -> Neutral

Yes in the food industry typically yogurts contain citirc acid. It is used as a preservative and gives the yogurt its tangy flavor for whatever fruit flavor it is supposed to be.
Yogurt typically contains lactic acid, which is produced by the fermentation of milk by friendly bacteria such as Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. These acids contribute to the tangy flavor and help preserve the yogurt by inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria.
Yogurt is slightly acidic in nature due to the fermentation process that produces lactic acid. Despite this, yogurt can have a neutralizing effect on stomach acid, which is why it is often recommended as a soothing food for digestive issues.
