The carrot and tomato juice (70:30) with 180Bx inoculated using 10% mixed culture of L. acidophilus and S. boulardii (1:1) and fermented for 20 hours. The microbiological analysis showed that prepared beverage contained optimum level of cultures i.e. 8.5 x109 CFU/mL and yeast and mold 4.5x109 CFU/mL was free from any traces coli-form bacteria. The loss of viability of probiotic cells that is L. acidophilus and Sacchromyces boulardii cultures were observed in beverage stored at refrigeration conditions for 28 days. It is studied that the viability of cultures decreased during storage, but the count was within the limits (107-109) that is L. acidophilus 4.7 x 107 and S. boulardii 4.5 x 107.
