Synbiotic Encapsulation: A Trend towards Increasing Viability and Probiotic Effect

Probiotics are effective coadjuvancy against human affections. To confer their beneficial effects to humans, probiotics adhere and colonize the intestine. Then, they must survive gastrointestinal conditions (~108–1010 cfu/day). However, concentration dose produce effect reduced. Synbiotics combination of prebiotics, can increase probiotics. Microencapsulation is an efficient approach protect synbiotics during passage through intestinal tract. In this article, we thoroughly reviewed different encapsulation techniques synbiotics. The most common were ionic gelation, emulsification, extrusion, spray drying, coacervation, freeze in some cases. These focus on survival under conditions. aim work was review synbiotic discuss microencapsulation viability probiotic properties vitro vivo models microencapsulated
