3.2. Bacterial counts
Fig. 2 shows the variations in bacterial counts in fermented
milk (12 h; milk fermented for 12 h), mix and icecream,
with and without inulin addition. During freezing,
the numbers of viable yogurt and probiotic bacteria
decreased by 0.6–0.93 and 1.09–1.12 log units, respectively,
and the numbers in the frozen ice-cream were found to be
