The food industry has been increasing investment in researchers and technologies aimed at metabolic, physiological and beneficial effects on consumer health. The use of food as a vehicle to promote well-being and health and to reduce the risk of some diseases has encouraged research into new natural components and the development of new ingredients. Thus, the objective of this work is to analyze the profile of students at the Federal University of Sergipe-UFS in relation to the consumption of functional probiotic foods. The method used in this research was Survey, a field research type through the application of an online questionnaire with 10 closed questions, structured in the following sequence: 1) Analysis of the socioeconomic profile of the respondent; 2) Lifestyle analysis and 3) Check if the respondent has knowledge and habit of consuming probiotic foods.
