Microencapsulation: An Overview for the Survival of Probiotic Bacteria

Abstract

For maintaining good health, one needs a proper balance and composition of intestinal microflora which can be achieved by supplementing probiotics. A noteworthy issue in creating helpful and valuable probiotic food items is bacterial survival, amid capacity and ingestion. Several gastrointestinal diseases can be reduced by colonizing Probiotic supplement as the appropriate barrier in the small intestine. Probiotic is characterized as a suitable microorganism with several medical advantages to the consumer when administrated in a satisfactory amount. The poor survival and steadiness of the probiotic microorganisms as revealed from the earlier reports is an essential question to that impact. Diverse natural components like oxygen toxicity, an intolerant condition of acidity and travel through the gastrointestinal tract offers a variety of extreme conditions to the probiotic microorganisms. Therefore, the current review is more emphasized upon the microencapsulation of the probiotics that enhance their viability against different parameters like oxidation, light, moisture, and temperature. Recent advancements in ensuring microorganism survival rate and their colonization in the gut as gut microflora using microencapsulation enhance probiotic supplements for better health. Hence, the present review also emphasis on the methodological systems used for probiotic alive by the encapsulation process advance technologies used to stabilize their viability during storage including the selection of biomaterial and decision for proper innovation.

Gut Dysbiosis and Diabetic Foot Ulcer: Role of Probiotics

“…Both play a key role in the pharma and food sectors. Forms of physical encapsulation include spray chilling [56], suspension coating [57], fluidized bed coating [58], liposome entrapment [59], centrifugal extrusion [60], spray cooling [61], rotational suspension separation [62], annular jet, spray coating [60], spinning disk [63], air spray drying extrusion coating [60] and pan coating [64]. Chemical methods include in situ polymerization [57], interfacial polymerization [65], matrix polymerization [57] and extrusion [57].…”

Microorganisms—An Effective Tool to Intensify the Utilization of Sulforaphane

“…Microencapsulation is another important form of microorganism encapsulation, and it has achieved long-term development [ 114 , 115 , 128 ]. Maillard conjugates and nanomaterials are currently one of the most commonly used microbial microencapsulation materials, which have the advantage of maintaining microbial stability and improving microbial intestinal colonization [ 129 , 130 ].…”

Barley-based probiotic food mixture: health effects and future prospects

“…technology, which provides great potential to protect beneficial bacteria and compounds from undesirable effects of environmental conditions, thus retaining the structural integrity until the time of consumption or administration (Mokhtari et al, 2017a;Pourjafar et al, 2018;Abdolhosseinzadeh et al, 2018;Qi et al, 2020;Misra et al, 2021;Malmo et al, 2021). Encapsulation of probiotic bacteria enhances their survival both in the food during the storage time and in the adverse conditions of the GIT (Mokhtari et al, 2017b;Oberoi et al, 2019;Pourjafar et al, 2020;Zhao et al, 2020;Yao et al, 2020;Zhang et al, 2021). There is a need for the controlled delivery of probiotics and/or bioactive compounds in barley based probiotic products, and few details are available on the performances of these systems in the GIT.…”
