Abstract
A composition and method for a high solids yogurt with reduced water activity. The yogurt can be formed, for example, by adding solutes to a cultured high solids milk until the yogurt has a water activity of about 0.86 or less. Lactose present in the high solids milk can be hydrolyzed to glucose and galactose. The composition can be used in food products, either in isolation or in combination with other components, for example, grain-based components.
