Fermented food products containing probiotic strains

The invention concerns mainly a non-solid fermented food product containing ferments comprising about 5&#xb7;10, in particular more than about 10per gram of food product fermented for a shelf lifetime of at least 30 days, in particular of at least 35 days.

Fermented food products containing probiotic strains, and their preparation process

The invention relates to the use ofgum (or gum Arabic) possibly in combination with sulphur-containing amino acids, for improving the growth and survival of bifidobacteria which are part of the manufacture of fermented food products, in particular, of fermented milk products.
