Modern Aspects of Probiotic Microorganisms’ Microencapsulation

Numerous studies in recent years have shown that the gut microbiome plays an important role maintaining various physiological processes body, including digestion, metabolism, immune system function, defense against pathogens, biosynthesis of unique metabolites, elimination toxins, and regulation function gut-brain axis. The microbiota is influenced by way birth, child’s feeding, genetic background, lifestyle, diet, exercises, medication, stress, general host’s health. Intestinal microbial populations can vary significantly from person to person, healthy individuals. Unfavorable changes composition its functions are characteristic dysbiosis indicate pathological disorders body. introduction pro-, pre-, synbiotics their other derivatives into as well transplantation fecal microbiota, restore disturbed gastrointestinal tract (GIT). There now a growing interest functional innovative foods ideal carriers for probiotics. However, many commercial probiotic products ineffective because beneficial bacteria they contain do not survive food processing, storage, passage through upper GIT. Th erefore, modern effective strategies needed improve stability microorganisms. One such microencapsulation method. Using this technology manufacture allows microorganisms during protects them aggressive conditions GIT, promotes colonization on mucous membrane large intestine. To achieve better protection controlled release probiotics, alginate microgels most widely used microcapsule shells.
