Abstract

A popular dairy product, yogurt is well-known for its high probiotic content and health advantages. Enhancing its nutritional profile with fruits has gained significant attention due to the increasing consumer demand for functional and health–promoting foods. Fruits serve as natural sources of vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, antioxidants, and bioactive compounds that can enhance the overall nutritional quality of yogurt. This review explores the impact of fruit fortification on the physicochemical, sensory, and probiotic properties of yogurt. It discusses the selection of fruits and their influence on yogurt flavor and sensory properties. Additionally, the potential health benefits, including improved antioxidant activity, gut health, and immune support, are highlighted. The findings suggest that fruit-enriched yogurt offers a promising strategy for developing functional dairy products with enhanced nutritional and sensory attributes.
