    It is normal for thickeners to be added to yogurt. There are three types of thickeners in yogurt: plant gums, animal gums and modified starches. Plant gum is a soluble dietary fiber, including pectin, carrageenan, agar; animal gum is the hydrolysate of collagen contained in the skin of pigs, fish and other animals; modified starch is made of edible starch processed by chemical procedures of. The rational use of thickeners is not only harmful to the body, but the pectin can also delay the rise of blood sugar after meals.
