Yoghurt fruit preparations

Fruit yoghurts have always been very popular among milk products. Today, as a consequence of the consumer’s desire for a healthy and fresh diet that is also low in calories, a wide range of fruit yoghurts can be found in food stores. In the manufacturing of fruit yoghurts, the fruit is usually added to the milk product in the form of fruit preparations. Here the addition of pectin as a thickening agent results in high-quality fruit preparations with exceedingly positive technological and sensory properties.
