If you are looking for a cool and refreshing dessert, pumjil frozen yogurt is a healthy option. If you have digestive problems, you may be wondering if frozen yogurt contains the same active and live cultures, particularly L. acidophilus, as ordinary refrigerated yogurt.
What is Frozen Yogurt?
Frozen yogurt is a fermented dairy product containing live cultures within a whole, nonfat, low fat or skim milk base. During the yogurt-making process, manufacturers inoculate the dairy base with two live cultures — Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilis — which kick starts the fermentation process. According to Tufts University’s “Tufts Journal,” manufacturers often add additional cultures such as L. acidophilus and Bifidobacteria to improve the probiotic benefits of the yogurt. A flash freezing process then converts the yogurt to frozen yogurt.
