Freeze-dried cornflower petals added to yogurt contributed to a significant increase in the content of total protein, fiber, and selected bioactive compounds, including amino acids, whey proteins, vitamins, and phenolic and mineral compounds, as well antioxidant activity. The analyses conducted using FTIR spectroscopy demonstrated that the product was highly stable during the refrigerated storage.
