“…In this regard, the addition of chitosan to the coating complex XG-alginate enhances L. plantarum LAB12 survival, providing a higher protection against the low pH and high temperatures [89,191]. Similarly, other studies using XG in combination with other encapsulant materials are: the XG-chitosan and XG-chitosan-XG complexes which improved survival of L. acidophilus in microcapsules added to dairy beverages [85] and the XG-gellan gum complex which improved cell survivor of Bifidobacterium lactis in microcapsules preserved in sodium phosphate buffer (pH 6.8) [86].…”

“…XG has proven to be an excellent coating agent for the microencapsulation of probiotics, protecting probiotic cells against simulated gastrointestinal conditions and high temperatures [71,74,85,86,89,183,190,191]. Moreover, XG was successfully combined with other coating materials (such as: alginate, chitosan, gellan and β-cyclodextrin) in order to improve its coating properties in the microencapsulation of probiotics [85,86,89,191]. For example, the microencapsulation of Lactobacillus plantarum LAB12 using XG and alginate as coating materials, improved the cell viability of the probiotic microorganism in conditions simulating gastric juice and bile salts, when compared to free cells.…”

“…Despite the fact that chitosan has a broad antimicrobial spectrum it has been used in mix with other encapsulating agents for the microencapsulation of probiotics [201,202]. Chitosan in combination with materials like: alginate, starch, whey protein isolate, and xanthan gum; provided protection to several probiotic microorganisms under simulated in vitro gastrointestinal environments, which may be an effective way to deliver probiotic benefits to the consumer [77,78,80,81,85,[90][91][92]94,98,153]. An outstanding example is the microencapsulation of Bacillus coagulants using alginate and chitosan as coating materials.…”

The consumption of probiotics has been associated with a wide range of health benefits for consumers. Products containing probiotics need to have effective delivery of the microorganisms for their consumption to translate into benefits to the consumer. In the last few years, the microencapsulation of probiotic microorganisms has gained interest as a method to improve the delivery of probiotics in the host as well as extending the shelf life of probiotic-containing products. The microencapsulation of probiotics presents several aspects to be considered, such as the type of probiotic microorganisms, the methods of encapsulation, and the coating materials. The aim of this review is to present an updated overview of the most recent and common coating materials used for the microencapsulation of probiotics, as well as the involved techniques and the results of research studies, providing a useful knowledge basis to identify challenges, opportunities, and future trends around coating materials involved in the probiotic microencapsulation.

“…This is possible by exploiting the electrostatic interaction between anionic xanthan gum and cationic chitosan. For example, Shu et al (2018aShu et al ( ,2018b dispersed Bifidobacterium bifidum in xanthan gum hydrogel and extruded the blend into a chitosan solution to obtain capsules, which improved the survival of B. bifidum in milk. By alternating between xanthan gum solution and chitosan solution, the amount of coating layers can be modified.…”

Water-soluble polymers (WSPs) are a versatile group of chemicals used across industries for different purposes such as thickening, stabilizing, adhesion and gelation. Synthetic polymers have tailored characteristics and are chemically homogeneous, whereas plant-derived biopolymers vary more widely in their specifications and are chemically heterogeneous. Between both sources, microbial polysaccharides are an advantageous compromise. They combine naturalness with defined material properties, precisely controlled by optimizing strain selection, fermentation operational parameters and downstream processes. The relevance of such bio-based and biodegradable materials is rising due to increasing environmental awareness of consumers and a tightening regulatory framework, causing both solid and water-soluble synthetic polymers, also termed 'microplastics', to have come under scrutiny. Xanthan gum is the most important microbial polysaccharide in terms of production volume and diversity of applications, and available as different grades with specific properties. In this review, we will focus on the applicability of xanthan gum in agriculture (drift control, encapsulation and soil improvement), considering its potential to replace traditionally used synthetic WSPs. As a spray adjuvant, xanthan gum prevents the formation of driftable fine droplets and shows particular resistance to mechanical shear.Xanthan gum as a component in encapsulated formulations modifies release properties or provides additional protection to encapsulated agents. In geotechnical engineering, soil amended with xanthan gum has proven to increase water retention, reduce water evaporation, percolation and soil erosiontopics of high relevance in the agriculture of the 21st century. Finally, hands-on formulation tips are provided to facilitate exploiting the full potential of xanthan gum in diverse agricultural applications and thus providing sustainable solutions.

“…Microencapsulation technology was also widely used in dairy products, especially in yogurt, in order to improve the vitality of probiotics in lower pH environment [71], resist gastric juice [72], inhibit postacidification [73], and release microbial cells in the intestinal environment to increase the bioavailability [74,75]. Lactobacillus paracasei subsp.…”

Microencapsulation is a promising technique, which provides core materials with protective barrier, good stability, controlled release, and targeting delivery. Compared with the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and textile industries, food processing has higher requirements for safety and hygiene and calls for quality and nutrition maintenance. This paper reviews the widely used polymers as microcapsule wall materials and the application in different food products, including plant-derived food, animal-derived food, and additives. Also, common preparation technologies (emphasizing advantages and disadvantages), including spray-drying, emulsification, freeze-drying, coacervation, layer-by-layer, extrusion, supercritical, fluidized bed coating, electrospray, solvent evaporation, nanocapsule preparation, and their correlation with selected wall materials in recent 10 years are presented. Personalized design and cheap, efficient, and eco-friendly preparation of microcapsules are urgently required to meet the needs of different processing or storage environments. Moreover, this review may provide a reference for the microencapsulation research interests and development on future exploration.
