We concluded that it is possible to develop a synbiotic apple juice
that presents a sensory profile (except turbidity and presence of
particles) and level of acceptance similar to those of sucrose-added
juice by adding L. paracasei ssp. paracasei as a probiotic culture and
oligofructose as a sugar substitute and prebiotic. To improve the
acceptance of the products, their sweet taste and aroma could be
intensified. For this, oligofructose may be added at higher concentration
(4 g/100 mL) or be used in conjunction with a reduced
amount of sugar (sucrose) or another sweetener, such as sucralose
