    Abstract

    The survival of L. acidophilus and B. lactis, and [beta]-D-galactosidase activity, were monitored during the product's storage for 24 weeks at -20°C. The L. acidophilus count showed an average of 2.52 log decrease for free cells after 24 weeks, while the encapsulated state of the same strain showed decreases of 2.06 log and 2.27 log in the non-fermented and fermented ice-creams, respectively.
