- Abstract
Fruits are rich sources of natural bioactive components especially antioxidants. Such type of bioactive components may be responsible to delay the development of many diseases. Antioxidants such as carotenoids, vitamin C, E and peptides are present in milk. Yogurt, a fermented milk product, is a good source of antioxidant compounds with therapeutic and high nutritional value and is consumed in most of the countries in the world. This review paper covers the subject research work published during 1978-2016. Many researchers have supplemented yogurt with different fruit juices, pulp, seeds and pomace and investigated their antioxidant activity owing to the presence of bioactive compounds in both fruits and yogurt. These researchers used various methods to measure the antioxidant activity of flavored (containing fruits) yogurts. It was confirmed that the bioactivity of such yogurt increased due to presence of antioxidant compounds incorporated by fruits.
