Best Answer

Sugar isn't added to the milk used to create yogurt. Often, however, sugar is added after creation to enhance the flavor.

Next time you are at the supermarket, look at the ingredients list for plain, unflavored yogurt. It will contain milk and bacteria. The sugars, alternative sweeteners, fruits, and other flavorings are then added.

What ingredients are in yogurt?

MilkMilk is by far the most necessary ingredient in yogurt. Whether it is nonfat, low fat or whole, homogenized or non-homogenized, milk is needed to produce a high-quality yogurt. For the most natural yogurt, using organic and local varieties provides a more desirable product. Commercial yogurt uses ultra-pasteurization, which requires extreme heat followed by rapid cooling, according to Milk Facts, a publication of Cornell University. This lengthens the shelf life but does sacrifice taste and consistency. In some instances, whey milk may be added to achieve a desired texture and add firmness to the yogurt. Starter CultureA starter culture is usually added to the yogurt to initiate the culture process. Using a starter culture is the most traditional way to make yogurt: a small amount of pre-made yogurt is added to the milk. Common yogurt probiotics include Lactobacillus delbrueckii, Streptococcus thermophilus and bifidobacterium, according to MayoClinic.com. Starter cultures are added after pasteurization and cooling to ensure they remain active. Usually the temperature during pasteurization is around 185 degrees Fahrenheit, and it must cool to around 108 degrees before the starter is added. Flavoring AgentsFlavoring agents are not really necessary, as many yogurt lovers enjoy plain yogurt. You can, however, add a variety of fruits or honey or flavor extracts like vanilla, orange or lemon. Many commercial yogurts add sugar and preservatives to increase the shelf life of the product. Low-fat and nonfat varieties may have added artificial flavorings like aspartame in lieu of sugar.
