- Probiotics need to maintain a minimum concentration during storage to be effective, and the study focuses on improving the survival of one specific probiotic, LR, using alginate microencapsulation combined with camelina seed mucilage and protein.
- The best formulation achieved a high encapsulation efficiency of 94.15% and resulted in saffron milk desserts that maintained acceptable probiotic levels and quality over time.
- The study concluded that camelina seed components can enhance probiotic stability, providing a foundation for creating functional foods that better support probiotic survival through storage and gastrointestinal passage.
