Why do we add edible gelatin to yogurt?

Edible gelatin or pectin is one of the thickeners in food additives. They can increase the viscosity of yogurt and improve the texture and sensuality of the product.The traditional yogurt is first filled and sealed and then fermented, which is called coagulated yogurt. Such a long fermentation time is not conducive to large-scale automatic production in the form of factories. Later, people changed the yogurt process by fermenting milk, stirring and adding food thickeners, such as edible gelatin, AGAR and pectin, to help the yogurt solidify.In this way, the appearance and taste of the stirred yogurt are similar to that of the solidified yogurt, and the properties of the yogurt remain stable. Effectively prolong the shelf life of yogurt, so that the factory can large-scale production. Consumers far away from yogurt production areas can also taste the mellow yogurt.

Is the edible gelatin in yogurt harmful to the body?
