Extended data:
The main components of yacon are yeast, lactic acid bacteria, acetic acid bacteria and other microorganisms. Yeast and lactic acid bacteria are harmless to human body, can regulate the normal flora of human body, and are beneficial to the gastrointestinal system of human body. The efficacy is roughly the same as that of ordinary yogurt sold in the market. Soaking milk and yacon together will not produce toxic substances to the body, but there must be bacteria.
Yacon also contains Gram-positive bacteria, Bifidobacterium and some very small microorganisms. Staphylococcus aureus in Gram-positive bacteria can grow and reproduce at suitable temperature and poor ventilation environment, and can produce some toxins, which can cause disease after eating. If the yacon is washed repeatedly with cold water in summer and the disinfection measures are not done well, the homemade yogurt is more likely to be infected with many external bacteria.
