1 Abbreviation of each sample was established by the presence of Lactobacillus plantarum R2 Biocenol™ bacterial culture (LP); constitutional excipient (Neusilin® US2 (US2); Neusilin® NS2N (NS2N); Avicel® PH-101 (AV)); and cryoprotectant employed (inulin (IN); saccharose (SA); starch 1500® (ST)). 2 Each batch consisted of quadruple samples (weighing 20.0 g per sample). Components (bacterial culture: constitutional excipient: cryoprotectant) were always prepared in the preserved ratio of 8:1:1.
