Yogurt manufacture requires a temperature of around 40°C. Explain precisely why this is the best temperature to use.

A temperature of 40°C is ideal because it is optimal for the growth of the bacteria used in yogurt production (Lactobacillus species), allowing them to ferment the milk and produce lactic acid, which gives yogurt its texture and tangy flavor
