Yogurt base was prepared from skim milk supplemented with sweet persimmon powder at the levels of 4% and 7％ and was fermented with Lactobacillus acidophillus. Sweet persimmon powder contained protein 2.2%, fat 30.5%, carbohydrate 56.6% and ash 2.5%, Quality characteristics of prepared yogurt were evaluated for acid production(pH), visible cell numbers, sensory property and oganic acid compositions during fermentation. Lactic acid content in yogurt supplemented with sweet persimmon powder was higher (1.12%∼l.21%) than that (1.05%) in yogurt made with only skim milk after 24 hours fermentation. The sensory score was higher yogurt made with skim milk than yogurt supplemented with sweet persimmon powder in taste, texture and overall acceptability. However, the acid production in yogurt supplemented with sweet persimmon powder were not significantly difference compared to yogurt made with skim milk The antioxidative activity by DPPH(a-a'-diphenyl-${\beta}$-picrylhydratyl) method in yogurt supplemented with sweet persimmon powder and yogurt made with skim milk were higher than BHT 0.005 ％ used as control.
