The Use of Cellobiose and Fructooligosaccharide on Growth and Stability of Bifidobacterium infantis in Fermented Milk 1305
during storage of fermented milk their effectiveness on
viability was shown to be comparable. Thus cellobiose
alone or in combination with FOS is suitable for syn-
biotic combinations with Bifidobacterium infantis for en-
hancement of quality of fermented milk.
