Survival of Free and Microencapsulated Probiotic Bacteria in Orange and Apple Juices

چکیده
This study investigated the survival of free and microencapsulated probiotic bacteria in orange and apple juices. Eight different strains of probiotic bacteria were used in this study including Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Bifidobacterium longum, L. salivarius, L. plantarum, L. acidophilus, L. paracasei, B. lactis type Bi-04 and B. lactis type Bi-07. The free or microencapsulated probiotic bacteria were inoculated into orange and apple juices and their viability was assessed on a weekly basis for up to six weeks. oBrix, malic acid concentration, and pH were also monitored. Encapsulated probiotc bacteria survived in fruit juices throughout the six weeks of storage, whereas free probiotic bacteria lost their viability within five weeks. In general, fruit juices containing microencapsulated probiotic bacteria were more stable than those containing free probiotic organisms.

Chitosan was used for nanoencapsulation of Lactobacillus acidophilus as probiotic bacteria. In vitro experiments were done with the objective of investigating the survival of the bacteria cells in gastro-intestinal conditions. The results demonstrated that the size of chitosan nanoparticles noticeably increases by increasing chitosan concentration from 0.05 to 0.5 g/mL. Encapsulation of the cel...
