“…Thus, fruit juices, vegetables and cereals constitute an emerging segment of nonconventional dairy substrates for the design of probiotic beverages that will require sensory and physicochemical characterization for quality control and further product development. Most of the current work in the area of development of non-dairy probiotics has been performed in fruit and soy-based fermented products where sensory, colour and rheological evaluations have been carried out (Chattopadhyay, Raychaudhuri, & Chakraborty, 2013;Fonteles et al, 2013;Pereira, Almeida, de Jesus, da Costa, & Rodrigues, 2013;Perricone, Corbo, Sinigaglia, Speranza, & Bevilacqua, 2014).
