Article Abstract
Probiotics have recently received significant attention due to their various benefits, such as the modulation of gut flora, reduction of blood sugar and insulin resistance, prevention and treatment of digestive disorders, and strengthening of the immune system. One of the major issues concerning probiotics is the maintenance of their viability in the presence of digestive conditions and extended shelf life during storage. To address this concern, numerous techniques have been explored to achieve success. Among these methods, the microencapsulation of probiotics has been proposed as the most effective way to overcome this challenge. The combination of nanomaterials with biopolymer coating is considered a novel approach to improve its viability and effective delivery. The use of polysaccharides and proteins-based bionanocomposites for microencapsulation of probiotics has emerged as an efficient and promising approach for maintaining cell viability and targeted delivery. This review article aims to investigate the use of different bionanocomposites in microencapsulation of probiotics and their effect on cell survival in long-term storage and harsh conditions in the gastrointestinal tract.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease initially treated with mesalazine (5-ASA). However, its effectiveness is limited by rapid absorption, low colonic concentration, and exacerbation of dysbiosis. Probiotics can mitigate dysbiosis if they survive the acidic conditions of the stomach.

The present work reports on the microencapsulation of GG (LGG) by the spray-drying process using a solution of starch, whey protein concentrate (WPC), soy lecithin and ascorbic acid as a carrier, with addition of different types of butters. The aim of this study was to examine the protective mechanism of six different butter samples on the viability rate of LGG bacteria directly after the spray-drying process and during storage for 4 weeks at 4 °C and 20 °C (±1 °C) based on hypothetical factors-the fatty acid's chemical character and content, and its melting enthalpy. The viability of bacteria, moisture content, water activity, color properties, morphology, particle size of powder, melting enthalpy of butters and their fatty acids composition were evaluated.

Background: In recent years, consumer preference for symbiotics containing live bacteria has surged, driven by the acknowledged health benefits. Wheat residue from beer brewing, rich in dietary fiber, remains an unexplored prebiotic raw material for developing vegan probiotic powdered products. Concerns about ambient conditions, dehydration and drying affecting bacterial cell viability prompt the investigation of protective agents (maltodextrin, l-arabinose, casein, whey protein, skimmed milk) and fluidized bed granulation microencapsulation for enhancing the survival rate of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum NKUST 817.

Article Synopsis
- 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.
