Chlorophyll

 

Chlorophyll takes in the sunlight which allows the plant to perform photosynthesis.  Through the process of photosynthesis (6CO2 + 6H2O ---> C6H12O6 + 6CO2) the sugars are made here.  Photosynthesis is the process of carbon dioxide + water turning into sugars and oxygen with the access to sunlight.  Without chlorophyll, there would be no sugars made.

Homemade Yogurt -

• 1 Liter milk- 1 quart
• 250 ml half and half - 1 cup
• 15 ml plain yogurt - 1 tablespoon

Combine milk and half and half in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over low heat. Remove from heat and transfer to a clean bowl. Set aside to cool to 115 degrees F. Add yogurt and vigorously whisk.  Cover bowl with plastic, then wrap well with heavy towels or a blanket. Set aside in a warm place for 6 to 8 hours, or longer according to taste. The longer yogurt sits, the more acidic it will become. Store in sealed containers in refrigerator. 

Fermentation,  in yogurt, is changing sugars into lactic acid.  For things like alcohol, it is changing carbohydrates into ethanol.  The milk used to make yogurt makes lactic acid, a form of bacteria.  This reacts with the milk proteins, thickening it and giving it its characteristic sour taste.
