The live culture in the yogurt does not die when frozen, it becomes dormant instead. After you thaw or eat the yogurt, the dormant culture comes back to life.
The amount of 'live culture' in commercially sold 'frozen yogurt' may only be a fraction of culture compared to regular yogurt. It has to do with the manufacturing process, and not the effect of temperature.
The 'live culture' does die when the yogurt is heated. Heat treated or pasteurized yogurt have no live culture.
I am from India. I always make Dahi (yogurt) at home. I whip and freeze a part of yogurt to start next batch. I thaw out the frozen yogurt in the refrigerator, whip it and use it as a starter for the next batch. When the yogurt is frozen, it does lose the texture. That's is the reason i whip the yogurt before freezing and after thawing.
What else can I help you with?
Is it safe to eat yogurt after it has been frozen?
you can freeze containers of yogurt, but it will take a lot of time. approximately three to eight hours to freeze because the yogurt reacts to the temperature in the freezer (or wherever you have put the yogurt to freeze). But the yogurt will still freeze because the temperature is more stronger. so it will take approximately three to eight hours depending on the flavour or/and ingredients.
Does freezing yogurt with live cultures destroy the effectiveness of the product?
I am not an expert, but my experience has been that freezing does not destroy the cultures. I make my own yogurt and to have starter, I buy a quart of plain yogurt and freeze it in ice cube trays. The frozen starter still makes a good yogurt, so the cultures clearly survive the freezing. Previously frozen yogurt is not very palatable out of the freezer, in my experience.I think cold in general doesn't bother microbes in the short term (six months to a year, something like that). Cold puts microbes in suspended animation, but heat kills them.
