Abstract:Probiotics lose their viability during formulation, processing, and storage. The current work investigates the co-effect of three different combinations of encapsulation and prebiotics on the Survival of L. rhamnosus, L. acidophilus, and B. adolescentis under different conditions. In simulating gastric juice solution, the free cells survivability ranged between 36.5% to 40.5% for B. adolescentis and L. rhamnosus, after 2 hr, respectively. However, the encapsulated bacteria survival, ranged between 54.5% to 78.… Show more
