Introduction
Probiotics are live microorganisms that provide health benefits when consumed in adequate amounts. They are commonly found in fermented dairy products such as yogurt. However, with the increasing popularity of plant-based diets, there is a growing demand for plant-based yogurt alternatives that also contain probiotics. This has raised questions about the viability of probiotics in these non-dairy products.
This project aims to investigate the viability of probiotics in plant-based yogurt alternatives. The research will focus on factors that may affect the survival and activity of probiotics in these products, such as the type of plant-based ingredients used, fermentation processes, and storage conditions. Understanding the viability of probiotics in plant-based yogurt alternatives is crucial for ensuring that consumers receive the health benefits associated with these microorganisms.

Project Research Overview
Probiotics are live microorganisms that have been shown to provide health benefits, such as improving digestion, boosting the immune system, and reducing inflammation. They are commonly found in fermented dairy products like yogurt. However, with the rise in popularity of plant-based diets, there is a growing demand for plant-based yogurt alternatives that also contain probiotics.
This project aims to investigate the viability of probiotics in plant-based yogurt alternatives. The research will focus on factors such as the type of plant-based ingredients used, fermentation processes, and storage conditions that may affect the survival and activity of probiotics in these products. By understanding the viability of probiotics in plant-based yogurt alternatives, consumers can make informed choices about their health and well-being.
The literature review will provide an overview of probiotics, their health benefits, and their viability in dairy products. It will also discuss plant-based yogurt alternatives, factors affecting probiotic viability, and gaps in current research. The research methodology will outline the design, sampling strategy, data collection methods, and analysis techniques used in the study.
The discussion of findings will present an overview of the research findings, including factors affecting probiotic viability, a comparison with dairy yogurt, implications for the industry, and recommendations for future research. The conclusion and summary will provide a summary of the findings, conclusions, recommendations, implications for practice, and directions for future research.
