Abstract
Yogurt is considered a healthy food and incorporating dietary fiber will make it even healthier. • Date fiber, a by-product of date syrup production, is a good source of dietary fiber. • Consumer test results indicated that the appearance, color, and fl avor ratings were significantly affected by fiber fortification. • Yogurt fortified with up to 3 % date fiber had similar sourness, sweetness, firmness, smoothness, and overall acceptance ratings as the control yogurt. • Fortifying yogurt with 3 % date fiber produced acceptable yogurt with bene ficial health effects.
