Stored samples at 4,21 and 38°C temperatures had significant difference (p≤0.01). Stored samples in two type of packaging had significant difference too (p≤0.01). Probiotic potato chips was stored in covered packaging at 38°C temperature hadmaximiumviability. Population of viable probiotics per each gram was higher than 106 and it was according to recommened content by FDA.
