Frozen yogurt (also known as frozen yoghurt, froyo or frogurt) is a frozen dessert made from, or containing yogurt or other dairy products. It is slightly more tart than ice cream, as well as lower in fat (due to the use of milk instead of cream). It differs from ice milk (more recently termed low-fat or light ice cream), which does not include yogurt as an ingredient.
History
Frozen yogurt was introduced in the 1970s as a healthier alternative to ice cream but consumers complained about the tart taste and yogurt-like consistency. Manufacturers began production of a recipe that consumers would enjoy and frozen yogurt made a comeback in the 1980s, reaching sales of $25 million in 1986. In the early 1990s, frozen yogurt was 10% of the dessert market."madehow">
Production
Frozen yogurt usually consists of milk solids, milk fat, yogurt culture, sweetener, gelatin, corn syrup, coloring, and flavoring.
Milk fat comprises about 0.5-6% of the yogurt. Added in quantities inversely proportional to the amount of milk solids the milk fat lends richness to the yogurt. Milk solids account for 8-14% of the yogurts volume providing lactose for sweetness and proteins for smoothness and increased resistance to melting."madehow"/>
Cane or beet sugar provides 15-17% of the yogurts ingredients. In addition to adding sweetness, the sugar increases the volume of solid ingredients in the yogurt improving body and texture."madehow"/>
Animal and vegetable gelatins stabilize the yogurt reducing crystallization and increasing the temperature at which the yogurt will melt so that the frozen yogurt maintains a smooth consistency regardless of handling or temperature change."madehow"/>
Frozen yogurt can be made in an ice cream machine but major companies often use assembly lines specifically dedicated to frozen yogurt production. The milk products and gelatin are combined and homogenized then cooled to 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius). At read more at » http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frozen+yogurt
