The aim of this study was to develop a goat's milk-based yogurt with a layer of tamarind and passion fruit jelly on the bottom of the package (bilayer yogurt) as well as to carry out the physical-chemical, microbiological and sensory characterization. of product. For comparison purposes, goat's milk products were compared with the same cow's milk product.
