Due to the need of consumers to produce health food products, in this study, the effect of adding gum arabic, guar and lecithin on the quality and survival characteristics of probiotic bacteria in probiotic breakfast chocolate was investigated. The results showed that the addition of guar gum and lecithin on tissue properties (tissue firmness and viscosity) and on the survival of probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum was significant (p <0.05). Addition of gum arabic had no significant effect on texture firmness and viscosity (p> 0.05). Also, the effect of simultaneous addition of gum arabic and lecithin in the breakfast chocolate formulation did not significantly increase the survival of the probiotic bacterium Lactobacillus plantarum (p> 0.05).
