Abstract
Probiotic yog h urt is one of dairy product s that has benefits to the human health . This research aim ed to understand the effect of skim milk concentration on the sensory quality traits and pH of probiotic yoghurt added with red dragon fruit ( Hylocereus polyrhizus ) dices prior to the fermentation. The research method was experimental method with 4 treatments and 3 replications in a completely randomized group design. The data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance followed by D uncan ’s multiple range test at P<0.05 . The t reatment in this research was different addition levels of skim milk (3% , 5% , 7% , and 9%) to yoghurt . The pH , color, aroma, taste, texture, viscosity and overall acceptance were assessed . The addition of skim milk increased (P<0.05) the acceptability of flavor, texture, viscosity and overall acceptance, in which the addition of skim milk at 9% showed the highest acceptability of taste. However, different addition level of skim milk did not significantly affect pH and the acceptability of color and aroma of yoghurt. The pH of yogurt ranged from 4.06 to 4.26. In addition, the color and aroma of yogurt were in the scale of neither like or dislike , the texture was i n the scale of d islike to l ike, taste, viscosity and overall acceptance we re i n the scale of dis like to neither like nor dislike . In conclusion, skim milk should be used for producing yogurt with red dragon fruit at 9% of whole milk to obtain acceptable product .

Summary
Yoghurt is believed to contain good nutritions and benefits, especially for the digestive tract and immune system improvements due to the activity of good bacteria. Yoghurt is produced using whole or skim milk and inoculated with lactic acid bacteria, i.e. Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus as a starter. Lactic acid bacteria that produce this unique yoghurt product require nutrients for growth that are obtained from milk. The use of skim milk, which is rich in lactose, is purposed to increase the level of yoghurt total solids, resulting good characteristics, and as a source of nutrition for microorganisms growth during fermentation. The addition of skim milk can increase protein content of yoghurt. The increasing protein content will increase the total milk solids which will affect the viscosity of fermented milk. The higher the total milk solids are, the higher the total acid will be produced (Tamime dan Robinson, 2000)
