3.4. Sensory evaluations
The sensory scores of the synbiotic ice cream samples are given in Table 2. The points allocated for colour, bodytexture and taste showed that the addition of free and encapsulated probiotics had no effect on sensory properties of non-fermented synbiotic ice cream. Yogurt or probiotic flavour was not found in all samples because of high pH of the non-fermented ice cream. Total evaluation in term of colour, texture and taste of all samples were good and did not have any marked off-flavour during the storage period. None of the ice creams were judged to be crumbly, weak, fluffy or sandy.
