Yogo Soft 400
Elenka product code 1053
The yoghurt member of the Soft 400 line: a complete base at 350 to 400 grams per litre of water or milk, built for soft-serve machines and for cabinets that need a consistent result from whoever is on shift.
Specification sheets are supplied to trade customers on request.
About Yogo Soft 400
The Soft 400 line is three complete bases built around the same idea: 350 to 400 grams per litre, add liquid, freeze. This is the yoghurt one, and it completes the line alongside Sole and Cioko.
What a Soft 400 base is for
Soft serve is a different discipline from batch-frozen gelato. The machine agitates continuously, the product is served straight from it, and there is no opportunity to correct anything between mixing and selling. A mix that is nearly right in a tub is visibly wrong from a soft-serve head.
So the value of a complete base here is higher than it is for a cabinet. Every variable — sugar, solids, stabiliser, overrun behaviour — is fixed before the liquid goes in, and the result is the same on a Tuesday morning as it is at four on a Saturday, with whoever is holding the cone.
The two dosages
Three hundred and fifty grams per litre of milk; four hundred per litre of water.
The difference is not arbitrary. Milk brings fat, protein and lactose to the mix; water brings nothing. So the base has less structural work to do against milk and needs less of itself to do it.
Write the liquid down next to the number on your production sheet. "400 g per litre" without the liquid is the most common way a soft-serve mix comes out thin, and it is invisible until someone else makes it.
Yoghurt, and why acidity is worth having
Yoghurt is a genuinely useful flavour in a soft-serve machine because it does something none of the cream flavours do: it cuts. A machine running vanilla and chocolate is a machine running two versions of sweet, and adding a third does not broaden the offer. Adding acidity does.
It also carries a health association that is largely unearned and entirely real in commercial terms — customers who would not order gelato will order frozen yoghurt, and the tub does not have to justify that to benefit from it.
For a cabinet rather than a machine, Gran Yoga 500 is the same idea at a higher dosage and a fuller body.

Frequently asked questions
How does it differ from Gran Yoga 500?
Dosage and intended machine. Yogo Soft 400 runs at 350 to 400 grams per litre and is built for soft serve; Gran Yoga 500 runs at 500 and is aimed at a batch freezer and a display cabinet. Both are complete yoghurt bases and both are correct — the question is which machine you are filling.
Water or milk?
Milk at the lower dosage, water at the higher. Milk supplies fat and protein that the base then does not have to, which is why the same result needs less powder — read the figure with its liquid attached.
Why is yoghurt worth carrying in soft serve?
Because acidity is the one thing soft serve is usually missing. A machine full of sweet cream flavours benefits from something that cuts, and yoghurt is the flavour customers already associate with a lighter option.
