The overall goal of the research work was to develop a probiotic beverage from Pineapple and Rose apple juice with probiotic bacteria " Lactobacillus plantarum" strain to examine the potential. Probiotic drink was prepared at pH 3.6 and optimum fermentation tempertaure of 37˚C. There was a gradual decline in pH and sugar content in time. In this study to determine the physicochemical properties and to check the shelf-life stability of the juice. Total phenols, flavanoids and antioxidants activity were enhanced in probiotic drink is compared to fresh juice sample. This study revealed that probiotic drink is a good approach for non-dairy products, with high nutritional and health promoting components.
