Mousses are an interesting type of dairy dessert with an aerated
and stabilised foamy structure that can be a good vehicle for the
incorporation of healthy ingredients. Cardarelli, Aragon-Alegro,
Alegro, de Castro, and Saad (2008a) evaluated the effect of a probiotic
(Lactobacillus paracasei) added together with inulin of
medium chain length at 5% of concentration on instrumental
texture and sensory attributes of a chocolate mousse. The synbiotic
sample showed the highest value in instrumental firmness and
adhesiveness and was perceived as significantly firmer than the
other formulations studied (control and probiotic only).
