Stirred-type fruit yoghurts with two different fruit purees (kiwifruit and banana) were produced and were investigated the physicochemical, volatile compounds, 2,2-diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity, cupric ion reducing capability (CUPRAC), total phenolic compounds (TPC), angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) content, reducing sugar content and microstructure. The addition of fruit puree affected (p<0.01) total solids, fat, protein, ash, L*, a*, b*, volatile compounds, DPPH, CUPRAC, TPC, ACE inhibitory activity, HMF content, reducing sugar content and overall acceptability whereas it had an insignificant effect on the pH, titratable acidity, apparent viscosity, syneresis (p>0.05). Storage period significantly (p<0.01) affected the titratable acidity, DPPH, CUPRAC, TPC, ACE inhibitory activity, HMF content, reducing sugar content and overall acceptability, as well as the pH, apparent viscosity and a* (p<0.05). Although the addition of banana and kiwi relatively suppressed the characteristic flavour of the experimental yoghurt samples, it improved the DPPH, CUPRAC and TPC. On the other hand, the addition of banana-kiwi was found to increase the content of HMF, the toxic compound. Yoghurt can be recommended as an important source of bioactive compounds with ACE inhibitory activity. According to the microstructure analysis results, a more homogeneous structure was observed in the control group samples compared to the fruit-added yoghurt samples and it was determined that the serum pore diameters were smaller.
