This study aimed to develop a creamy milk chocolate
dessert containing Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei LBC 81 and fructo-oligosaccharide, and evaluated
the sensory and microbiological characteristics of the product. Three formulations were developed:
control, probiotic containing the microorganism only, and symbiotic containing the
microorganism plus fructo-oligosaccharide
