Whether yogurt is stirred or set, with or without extra added fruits. Yogurt remains one of the biggest desserts in the market. By addition of different hydrocolloids you can affect the physical properties. Viscosity, water retention and graininess are examples that can have an effect on texture and mouthfeel. Other benefits can be improved filling viscosity or synerisis control. The later is particular important in set yogurts.
