This study aimed to prepare guava-flavored petit-suisse kefir cheese with inulin and to evaluate the physicochemical, microbiological, and sensory characteristics of the product in refrigerated storage. Preliminary assays were carried out to adjust the ingredients by selecting two formulations to add inulin at 3% and 6% concentrations and compare with the control (without inulin). Physicochemical analyses (acidity, pH, water activity, vitamin C, lycopene, fructans, ash, proteins, fat, moisture, carbohydrates, calories, color, and viscosity) microbiological (total and thermotolerant coliforms, Salmonella spp., lactic acid bacteria, acetic acid bacteria, and yeasts) at 1, 14 and 28 days of storage at 4 ºC, and sensory at the initial and final...
