Abstract:BACKGROUNDWorldwide, vegan and vegetarian lifestyles, as well as food allergies and intolerance (e.g. lactose intolerance and milk protein allergy) demand the development of alternatives to dairy‐based probiotic foods. In the present study, probiotic Lacticaseibacillus casei CECT 9104 was added to alginate‐based edible coatings enriched with inulin and oligofructose and applied to fresh‐cut apple. Microbiological, physicochemical and sensory quality parameters of the apple cubes were monitored during 8 days of… Show more
