FROZEN DESSERT CONTAINING LACTIC BACTERIA AND FERMENTABLE FIBRES

摘要

The invention concerns a frozen dessert based on ice cream comprising lactic bacteria, said ice cream being coated over all or part of its surface, and/or provided within, and/or in between, with an edible support, characterised in that the support is substantially devoid of lactic bacteria and that it comprises fermentable fibres specifically stimulating the growth in the intestinal tract of the lactic bacteria initially contained in the iced cream. The invention also concerns the combined use of lactic bacteria and prebiotic fibres for preparing a frozen composition wherein the lactic bacteria and the fibres are not substantially in contact, for treating and/or preventing gastrointestinal disorders, to strengthen the human immune system, or to increase the absorption of minerals.
