This study was aimed to investigate the effects of replacing 5% fat and sugar by inulin and lactulose, respectively, on the survival of Bifidobacterium lactis and physicochemical and sensorial characteristics of the ice cream. Total solids, pH , melting rate and sensory scores of low‐fat and/or low‐sugar ice cream samples did not differ significantly from the control. Overrun and hardness of low‐fat samples were significantly higher than that of the control group ( P  < 0.01). The viable counts of B. lactis in the low‐sugar synbiotic ice creams were significantly lower than that of other groups at the end of 90‐day storage ( P  < 0.01).
