The aim of this study was to develop ι-carrageenan (ιC)/sodium caseinate (NaCas) synbiotic microgels loading Lacticasebacillus paracasei produced by double-crosslinking with calcium ions and different concentrations (0, 5, 10, and 15 U/g protein) of transglutaminase (TGase). The synbiotic microgels were coated/filled with pectic oligosaccharide (POS). Field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses indicated that L. paracasei was successfully microencapsulated in synbiotic microgels. In Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analysis, the new formation of covalent and ionic crosslinking was observed in double-crosslinked synbiotic microgels. The encapsulation efficiency of L. paracasei was significantly increased from 87.82 to 97.68 % by increasing the concentration of TGase from 0 to 15 U/g protein, respectively. After exposure to simulated gastric fluid for 2 h and simulated intestinal fluid for 4 h, the survival rate of L. paracasei was significantly increased as the concentration of TGase increased.

In this study, for enhancing the resistance of probiotics to environmental factors, we designed a microgel beads delivery system loaded with synbiotics. Multiple droplets of W/O/W emulsions stabilized with zein-apple pectin hybrid nanoparticles (ZAHPs) acted as the inner "egg," whereas a three-dimensional network of poly-L-lysine (PLL)-alginate-CaCl (Ca) crosslinked gel layers served as the outermost "box." ZAHPs with a mass ratio of 2:1 zein-to-apple pectin showed excellent wettability (three-phase contact angle = 89.

This study was carried out to develop soy protein isolate (SPI)/sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (NaCMC) synbiotic microgels by applying a double-crosslinking technique using transglutaminase and different concentrations of AlCl (0 %, 6 %, 7 %, 8 %) and also by adding Lactobacillus acidophilus (L. acidophilus) and pectic oligosaccharide. Synbiotic microgels crosslinked using 8 % AlCl (SPI/NaCMC-Al microgels) showed the highest encapsulation efficiency (92 %).

The viability of Lactobacillus acidophilus when co-encapsulated with fructooligosaccharides in alginate-gelatin microgels, for incorporation into liquid, Greek, and frozen yogurts, during storage and in vitro-simulated digestion was studied. Liquid yogurt provided the highest viability for the encapsulated probiotics during storage, followed by frozen and Greek formulations when compared to free probiotics, highlighting the influence of microencapsulation, yogurt composition, and storage conditions. Addition of up to 20% of probiotic (AG) and symbiotic (AGF) microgels did not cause significant changes in the liquid and frozen yogurts' apparent viscosity (η ); however, it decreased η for the Greek yogurt, indicating that microgels can alter product acceptability in this case.
