Variables (n = 7)	0.50 ppmF		0.75 ppmF
Variables (n = 7)	3% sucrose	5% sucrose	3% sucrose	5% sucrose
Total cells (×10⁸)	0.9 ± 0.4^b	1.4 ± 0.2^a	1.1 ± 0.2^ab	1.3 ± 0.5^ab
L. casei (×10⁸)	1.0 ± 0.3^b	1.5 ± 0.2^a	1.1 ± 0.2^b	1.3 ± 0.5^ab
S. salivarius (×10⁵)	1.4 ± 1.3^a	0.6 ± 0.4^a	0.9 ± 0.6^a	1.2 ± 0.8^a
IML(vol% × μm)	2252 ± 341^a	2484 ± 311^a	1501 ± 279^b	1544 ± 105^b
LD (μm)	71.3 ± 3.8^a	70.1 ± 11.4^a	48.6 ± 10.6^b	48.7 ± 2.5^b

Means followed by distinct letters differ statistically (P < 0.05).
