A source of life, well being and good health, yoghurt’s high positive image has persisted down the ages. Yoghurt, the most unique and universal dairy product is a coagulated milk product obtained from the lactic acid fermentation. It is being enjoyed not only for its taste but also its beneficial properties. High levels of live bacterial cultures in yoghurt contribute to the nutritional and therapeutic properties. It is an excellent source of protein, calcium, phosphorus, riboflavin, thiamin and vitamin B12 and a valuable source of folate, niacin, magnesium and zinc. Yoghurt has been reported to treat diarrhoea, gastroenteritis, irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, infant allergies, hyperlipedimia, hepatic disease, helico bacter pylori infections, genito urinary tract infections and alcohol induced-liver damage.
