For viable counts, two culture media—acidifed MRS agar from
Difco Company (KS, USA) and M17 agar from Oxoid Company
(ON, Canada) were used for quantifying the S. thermophilus and
L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus after production and during 28 days
storage at 4 °C at 7 days interval. pH, syneresis, color, rheological and
sensory parameters were measured on the first day of production or
during 28 days storage at 4 °C, at 7 days interval.
