containing a mixture of flours, xanthan gum, water, yeast
and salt. In this application, even with high-temperature
baking, the probiotic dose remained above the recommended amount to experience benefits. The shelf-life
stability of this probiotic strain was also demonstrated in
other baked goods applications.
John Quilter, vice-president and general manager,
Kerry, noted that the biggest challenge for probiotics
is survivability to ensure delivery of efficacious levels.
Kerry's shelf-stable patented probiotic strain - Bacillus
coagulans - can withstand manufacturing processes,
shelf life and gastric transit. This spore-forming bacteria known as GanedenBC30 has a structure that is much
more resistant to the extremes of pH, heat, cold and
pressure than vegetative cells, making them a great fit
for the fortification of products that are hot, cold, frozen
and shelf-stable.
"It is a science-backed probiotic strain that has been
shown to provide digestive health, immune health and
protein utilization benefits," Mr. Quilter said. "It is
backed by more than 25 published papers. Thanks to the
survivability of this strain, it can be added to almost any
snack or baked good."
The strain can now be found in the new Kind
Breakfast Probiotics bar line. Each two-bar pack serving provides 500 million CFUs. In New York-based
Kind's breakfast research, they found that the average
American only spends 12 minutes eating breakfast, often while on the way to work or school. This product
provides the opportunity to reap probiotic benefits in a
shelf-stable, on-the-go format. The shelf-stable nature of
the cultures allows for them to be mixed right into the
bar batter.

The strain is also used in the Mighty Muffin line by
Flapjacked, Westminster, CO. This is a fresh-baked concept, where the consumer simply adds water and microwaves the cup for 35 seconds to produce a warm muffin.
Each Mighty Muffin provides 20 g protein, with under
20 net carbohydrates and 10 g or less sugar as well as 500
million CFUs.
Next, the company rolled out new FlapJacked Soft
Baked Cookie Bars made with organic whole grain oats.
One bar contains 10 g protein, prebiotics and 500 million GanedenBC30 probiotic cultures.
Totowa, NJ-based Cibo Vita, Inc., is introducing Keto
Snack Mix to its "snack with a purpose" line of products
enhanced for healthy eaters. The nut and seed mix includes probiotic cheddar cheese puffs. The puffs contain
Bifidobacterium lactis B420 from DuPont Nutrition &
Biosciences. The positive perception of probiotics isn't

Probiotics can be added
in the final step whether
in spray toppings, icings
or glazes.
