The rheological properties and microstructure of buffalo yoghurt were investigated and compared to bovine yoghurt. Buffalo yoghurt exhibited a greater degree of thixotropy and a higher level of syneresis. These differences can be linked to the underlying microstructure of the yoghurt, which is more porous and contains bigger fat globules compared to bovine yoghurt. This study shows how milk pro...
