3.2. Analysis of total fibers and fructans
The total fructans content was 6.5 g/100 g in the symbiotic
formulation and remained constant during the 28 days of product
storage. The control, probiotic, and symbiotic formulations presented
total fiber content values of 3.24, 3.41 and 10.70 g/100 g,
respectively. The claim of the functional fiber property is permitted,
provided that its portion in the ready-for-consumption product be
at least 3 g of fiber (ANVISA, 2008). The three formulations can be
considered as sources of fiber products that can assist in intestine
function. Thus, these formulations are an alternative option and
present better nutritional value than classic desserts on the market.
