The survival of probiotic culture in orange juice formulations is shown in Fig. 1. In the first day of storage, the formulations supplemented with probiotic culture (PRO, ACID and SYNB), presented similar (p > 0.05) counts of Lactobacillus paracasei ssp. paracasei, indicating that the probiotic culture was in the same amount in all formulations. The initial counts higher than 107 CFU/mL in the present study indicate that orange juice is suitable substrate for Lactobaciilus paracasei propagation. When using MRS as the propagation media, the counts of the probiotic culture also were between 107 and 108 CFU/mL (data not shown)
