The bacteria causes fermentation of lactose and produce lactic acid. Curd is a dairy product obtained by curdling with an edible acidic substance such as lemon juice or vinegar, and then draining off the liquid portion.

  • Making of Curd 
    Curd is basically made with the cow milk in united states but in some countries, its made of the milk of other animals like goat.
    When lactobacilli bacteria is added to milk at the temperature of 30 to 40 degree, The fermentation process of the milk starts and after sometime it becomes curd.

    Making of Yogurt
    Like a curd, Yogurt is also basically made with the with cow’s milk in USA. In some parts of the earth, milk of other animals is also being used like the milk of sheep, goats, and camels.
    When the bacteria Streptococcus thermophiles and Lactobacillus bulgaricus is added to the milk, the fermentation process starts. In the process these bacteria converts the sugar or lactose of the milk into the lactic acid and it converts milk into yogurt with its flavor.

    Lactose intolerance people can also consume yogurt and curd because it has low level of lactose then milk.
    Fermentation converts lactose into lactic acid which gives the sour test to curd and yogurt. (Acids are usually sour tested).

  • Curd vs. Yogurt Calorie Content

    A serving of 100 grams of curd provides 98 calories, of which 38 calories come from fat. The same serving size of yogurt will give about 61 calories with 29 calories from fat.

    Curd vs. Yogurt Fat Content

    A 100-gram serving of curd has four grams of total fat, of which two grams is saturated fat. The same serving size of yogurt provides three grams of total fat, and two grams of it is saturated fat. So, comparatively, yogurt contains more saturated fat than curd. Both curd and yogurt contain trace amounts of good fats or omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.

    A 100-gram serving of curd offers 11 grams protein, while the same serving size of yogurt has only three grams of protein. Both these foods contain all the amino acids required by the human body for optimum tissue health.

  • Curd is prepared by boiling & cooling the milk and then adding a spoonful of curd(when you add lemon or vinegar in to milk it'll breakout and turns into curd) in to it, the lactic acid bacteria present in it multiplies within few hours and the container full curd will be ready.

    Yogurt is also also prepared in same way but the bacterias used are different.

  • Thank you for your reply . I really searching for this information and i got this
    Curd : 
    This term actually means a dairy product which is obtained by ‘curdling or coagulation’ of the milk with an edible acid like the citric acid from lemon or acetic acid from vinegar and then drains the liquid. There are many ways to make it. CURD is a non-specific and a generic term.

    When we say about ‘dahi’, we talk about only one strain of bacteria, i.e. Lactobacillus with the help of which fermentation occurs and causes the formation of lactic acid and turn milk into curd.
    Yogurt:


    This is not a generic term and is created by milk fermentation by using a string of bacteria. Yogurt culture consists of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophiles. It is a final product that is stable and only these two strains of bacteria can make it.
    What are the benefits of yogurt in the diet?
    Yogurt is healthier than you can think. It’s a good source of protein, phosphorous, Vit B12, calcium, potassium, Zinc, Vitamin B5 & iodine. It lowers muscular stress, reduces the risk of high blood pressure, controls cholesterol levels, helps post-workout recovery rapid and also helps in weight loss.
