Synbiotic microencapsulation of and subsp. using oats/oats brans as prebiotic for enhanced storage stability.

Potential probiotic strains,  subsp.  and  were microencapsulated with their appropriate prebiotics, oat bran, and oats, respectively, selected by in vitro fermentation. The microencapsulation of these probiotics were done in an alginate matrix, with and without their appropriate prebiotics.

Enhanced antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of Nano chitosan and pectin based biodegradable active packaging films incorporated with fennel ( essential oil and potato ( peel extracts.

Unlabelled: Active packaging materials are generally prepared by incorporating antimicrobial agents. The main objective of the present research is the development and characterization of active packaging with Nano chitosan and pectin. Active packaging film was prepared by incorporating essential oil of Fennel (EOF) along with potato peel extract (PPE) to improve the antioxidant and antimicrobial property of the film.

Development of multigrain ready-to-eat extruded snack and process parameter optimization using response surface methodology.

This study aimed to develop Ready to Eat (RTE) extruded snack using a composite blend of cereal, millet, and pulses. The formulation of the blend was rice, corn, pearl millet, green gram, and cowpea bean in the ratio of 25:30:30:8:7. Process parameters selected for optimization are feed moisture content (8%-12%), extruder rpm (300-350), and barrel temperature (117 °C-121°C).

Freeze dried probiotic carrot juice powder for better storage stability of probiotic.

Probiotic strains isolated from - a traditional Indian fermented food-and fermented carrot juice, were evaluated for their probiotic properties and analyzed probiotic properties such as lactic acid production, NaCl tolerance, and acid tolerance for all the isolated strains. Most isolated strains were susceptible to antibiotics, and cell-free extracts showed potential antioxidant activity and observed antagonistic properties against foodborne pathogens such as ATCC 6539 ATCC 25922 ATCC 12022, and ATCC 29213. The isolate (K13), was incorporated in carrot juice and microencapsulated by freeze-drying and spray drying.
