increasing the probiotic survival in functional ice cream by microencapsulation

Survival of Lactobacillus acidophilus TISTR1338 and Lactobacillus casei TISTR390 in probiotic Gac ice cream

Ice cream is a kind of dairy products consumed all over the world and most popular among children and adults. However, ice cream available commercially is generally poor in natural antioxidants and vitamins. Thus, it is of interest to improve the nutritional values of ice cream using spiny bitter cucumber (Gac) which is a good source of lycopene and β-carotene along with probiotic bacteria. Fir...

Survival of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum in ice cream for use as a probiotic food.

Probiotic ice cream was made by fermenting a standard ice cream mix with Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum cultures and then freezing the mix in a batch freezer. Survival of the L. acidophilus and B. bifidum, as well as beta-galactosidase activity, was monitored during 17 wk of frozen storage at -29 degrees C. After freezing of the fermented mix, bacterial counts were 1.5 x ...

evaluation of survival of encapsulated probiotic bacteria in synbiotic yog-ice cream

in this study, frozen yoghurt was produced as a synbiotic product. a food product containing both probiotics and prebiotics is named as synbiotic or functional food. lactobacillus acidophilus (la-5) as a probiotic bacteria was added to frozen yoghurt in two types; free and encapsulated, and its survivability was evaluated during 60 days storage at -18 °c . also fructo-oligosaccharide as a prebi...

Microencapsulation of Probiotic Bacteria:

In the recent past, there has been an explosion of probiotic health-based products. Many reports indicated that there is poor survival of probiotic bacteria in these products. Further, the survival of these bacteria in the human gastro-intestinal system is questionable. Providing probiotic living cells with a physical barrier against adverse environmental conditions is therefore an approach cur...

Microencapsulation of live probiotic bacteria.

Scientific research regarding the use of live bacterial cells for therapeutic purposes has been rapidly growing over the years and has generated considerable interest to scientists and health professionals. Probiotics are defined as essential live microorganisms which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host. Due to considerable beneficial health effects, thes...
