Frozen dessert based on an ice cream containing lactic acid bacteria, the said ice cream being coated over all or part of its surface with, and/or placed in, and/or between, an edible support, characterized in that the support is substantially free of lactic acid bacteria, and in that it comprises fermentable fibers specifically promoting the growth, in the intestinal tract, of the lactic acid bacteria contained initially in the ice cream. The invention also relates to the combined use of lactic acid bacteria and prebiotic fibers, for the preparation of a frozen composition in which the lactic acid bacteria and the fibers are not substantially in contact, for the treatment and/or the prevention of gastrointestinal disorders, for strengthening the human immune system, or for increasing the absorption of minerals.

Frozen dessert containing lactic acid bacteria

A food or cosmetic composition containing a dextran composition synthesized by a dextran sucrase enzyme produced by a strain of,ssp.,. The food or cosmetic composition is prepared by fermenting a food or cosmetic composition containing sucrose with the strain, or the strain is cultured in a culture medium containing sucrose and the dextran composition produced is incorporated into a food or cosmetic substance.

Products containing a dextran composition obtained from culturing Leuconostoc mesenteroidesssp. cremoris

A food or cosmetic composition containing active dextran sucrase enzymes which are produced by a strain of,ssp.,and which synthesize dextran. In addition to culturing the strain in a food or cosmetic composition containing sucrose to obtain a composition containing the active enzymes, the strain may be cultured in a culture medium containing sucrose to obtain a culture product containing the active dextran sucrase enzymes which may be isolated from the culture product and incorporated into a food or cosmetic substance.

Compositions prepared to contain active dextran sucrase produced by Leuconostoc mesenteroides ssp. cremoris

Ice cream with coating containing lactic acid bacteria

Strains of Leuconostoc mesenteroides ssp. cremoris which provide, upon culturing, dextran, and the strains include deposited strains CNCM I-1692 and CNCM I-1693.
