Nutritional supplementation of low-fat frozen yoghurt incorporated with carrot pulp

Yoghurt is a fermented milk product which is produced by adding a mixed culture of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcous thermophilus. Fermentation of milk sugar produce lactic acid, which acts on milk protein to give yoghurt its texture and its characteristics taste. The present study was carried out with different levels (2%, 3%, 4% and 5%) of carrot pulp. Frozen yoghurt mix was standardisation to 12% sugar, 12% SNF, @ 2% culture, Fat (0.5%, 1.5% and 3.0%) and Stabilizer (0.5%) adjusted to 26% total solids for frozen yoghurt. The low fat frozen yoghurt samples of different treatments were analyzed for organoleptic characteristics (flavour, body & texture, general appearance and overall acceptability) and nutritional characteristics (moisture, ash, fat, protein, acidity, pH & total solids). The data obtained on various parameters were statistically analyzed. Based on the results, it was concluded that the low fat frozen flavoured yoghurt with 3% carrot pulp, 0.5%, 3.0% fat (T₃F₃) are high as comparable with other treatments in the organoleptic characteristics (Flavour & taste, Body & texture, Colour & appearance and Overall acceptability) and nutritional characteristics (moisture, ash, fat, protein, acidity, pH & total solids).
