Abstract
Chicory plant (Cichorium intybus) belongs to Asteraceae family and contains flavonoids.

Samples were considered based on pH, acidity and microbes count. Sensory evaluation was done in fourteenth day. The questionnaire results were analyzed by SPSS software based on descriptive statistics. The viability of probiotic bacteria were considered based on direct count.
