Generally, the panellists described the nonencapsulated
treatment (free cells type) as a bad texture
and sour taste, which might be due to the
influence of the high acidity on the gel strength of
yogurt. On the other hand, the texture of encapsulated
treatment (double-layer type) was preferred and
described as creamy, which might be attributed to the
presence of alginate as polysaccharides added with
concentration of 10% encapsulated cells led to
improve the sensory profile (Tamime & Robinson,
2007).
