Probiotics are commonly added to yogurt to provide many health benefits for the consumer. A description is provided for some commonly used probiotics in yogurt. A GRAS (generally recognized as safe) list of probiotic bacteria that can be added to yogurt or similar types of products is provided. Additionally, prebiotics, synbiotics (combination of prebiotics and probiotics), postbiotics, paraprobiotics, and psychobiotics can be added to yogurt. Probiotic yogurt can come in various forms in addition to spoonable yogurt, and yogurt can be used as an ingredient in other food products. Many useful functional ingredients can be applied to probiotic yogurt. The safety of probiotics must be addressed, especially for critically ill patients and other susceptible populations.

Fiber Ingredient | |||
Inulin of varying chain lengths 2 | 1.5% | P95 lowered the pH but maintained similar flavor scores compared to the control. HP decreased syneresis and improved body and texture compared to the control. | [155] |
Orange fiber | 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2% | Incorporating orange fiber into yogurt containing L. acidophilus LA-5 and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis BB-12 improved antioxidant activity and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE)–inhibitory activity. | [156] |
Lemon and orange fibers | 3 g to 200 mL | The enriched fermented milk had good sensory acceptability. L. acidophilus and L. casei had better survival than B. bifidum. | [157] |
Wolfberry dietary fiber (goji berry) | 0.5–5% | Yogurt containing 2% (w/v) wolfberry dietary fiber had less syneresis, higher apparent viscosity, and increased hardness compared to control yogurt. | [158] |
Fruit or fruit ingredient and vegetable | |||
Fruit purees (peach, apple, and pear) | 10 and 20% | Peach and apples were the most suitable fruits for probiotic yogurt. | [159] |
Dragon fruit | 12% | The optimal formulation was 12% dragon fruit, 11% sugar, and 2% L. plantarum. Fermentation time was 19 h at 37 °C. | [160] |

This goat milk yogurt had high L. acidophilus La-05 counts, distinct phenolic profile, higher antioxidant capacity, sensory acceptance, and consumer preference compared to control probiotic yogurt. | [161] |
Orange sweet potato | 15 and 25% | Orange sweet potato purees incorporated into probiotic yogurt were accepted by consumers. | [162] |
Berry and nut | |||
Gobdin (Dry white mulberry and walnut paste) | 0, 5, and 10% | Adding 5% gobdin to yogurt containing L. acidophilus resulted in an acceptable product. | [163] |
Juice (fruit or vegetable) | |||
Pomegranate juice | 16% | Yogurt fortified with pomegranate juice and probiotics had desirable sensory properties during storage. | [164] |
Carrot juice | 8, 16, 24, and 32% | There was increased color intensity, carrot flavor, creaminess, mouth coating, and chalkiness with increased carrot juice levels. | [165] |
Juice and flower | |||
Juice from kiwifruit and jasmine flour | 20% kiwi fruit juice and 15% jasmine flower juice | The best formulation was 20% kiwi fruit juice, 15% jasmine flower juice, and 5% inoculum concentration. Fermentation time was 8 h at 40 °C. | [166] |
Spice and Oil | |||
Spices (Cardamom, cinnamon, and nutmeg) | 0.5% (v/w) | Yogurts containing spices had good sensory properties with enhanced antioxidant activity. | [167] |
Ginger and chamomile essential oil | 0.2 and 0.4% | Ginger and chamomile essential oils and B. lactis Bb12 addition enhanced yogurt properties. Incorporation of essential oil significantly decreased fermentation time. | [168] |
Dill essential oil | 50 and 100 ppm | Yogurt containing 100 ppm dill essential oil received high sensory scores and maintained high viability of B. bifidum and L. casei. | [169] |
Peppermint, Basil, and Zataria essential oils | 0.5% | Antioxidant potential was improved by addition of all three essential oils. Peppermint and basil yogurts had acceptable sensory properties, but zataria yogurt was not as acceptable. |
[170] |
Bee products | |||
Pine honey | 2, 4, and 6% | The 2% level was the preferred level during sensory evaluation. | [171] |
Royal jelly | 2% (w/v) | Royal jelly incorporation Ssignificantly improved physicochemical, rheological, sensory, and microbiological properties (increased probiotic viability) compared to control probiotic yogurt. | [172] |
Cyanobacterium | |||
Spirulina (a biomass of cyanobacterium) | 1 g per liter of yogurt mix. | This yogurt was less acidic than the control yogurt on the 7th day, and there was higher growth of lactic acid bacteria in this yogurt than for the control yogurt on the 7th day. | [173] |
