Survival of L. plantarum in different formulations of mango and carrot mixed juice submitted to in vitro simulated gastrointestinal conditions. Mixed juice: Mango and carrot mixed juice prior to initiation of in vitro simulation; GP: Gastric phase; EP I: Enteric phase I; EP II: Enteral phase II; a Evaluation after processing (0 day). b Evaluation after 35 days of mixed juice storage at 8 °C. F1 (blue bar), F2 (orange bar), F3 (gray bar). Different upper case letters indicate significant difference (p < 0.05) among the formulations in the same phase and different lowercase letters indicate significant difference (p < 0.05) among the phases for the same formulation
