    <abstract language="eng"><p>Changes in microbiological, physicochemical and sensory parameters of kefir were studied during refrigerated storage. Kefir batches were prepared with 0 μl/100g (control, K) 15μl/100g (KA) and 30μl/100g (KB) concentration of an ethanolic extract of <i>Viscum album</i> and <i>Abies alba</i> and samples for analysis were taken 24h after inoculation (day 1), at 10<sup>th</sup> day and 20<sup>th</sup> day of storage at 3 ±1<sup>o</sup>C. The alcoholic extract resulted from the mixture of leaves and stems from <i>Viscum album</i> and <i>Abies alba</i> with ethanol in proportion of 1:1:1. The mixture was left at 4° C for one month, filtered and added into the kefir.<i> Viscum album</i> is known for its potential immunostimulatory, cytotoxic, proapoptotic and anticancer effects (in-vitro). <i>Abies alba</i> is the host of <i>Viscum album</i><i> </i>and their synergy enhance the above properties. The results of this study showed that the use of the ethanolic extract of <i>Viscum album</i> and <i>Abies alba</i> in kefir production did not alter the microbial and physicochemical characteristics of kefir. It seems that the incorporation of a small concentration (15μl/100g) of the ethanolic extract<i> </i>of <i>Viscum album</i> and <i>Abies alba</i> in kefir does not affect the final product, which is similar or even better than the control.</p>
