ABSTRACT:
Described is a method to stabilize or preserve acid-producing bacteria in a buffered solution. A carrier may be added that is not a specific substrate for the bacteria in order to give texture, most preferably the carrier being polyethylene glycol or sodium alginate. Optionally, other ingredients such as anti-oxidants, mold inhibitors, and/or salts may be added. These compositions may be stored at temperatures above freezing for a time from a few days up to about 2 months or longer.
