Effect of calcium ions on the freeze-drying survival of probiotic encapsulated in sodium alginate

Yongkai Yuan et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of calcium ions on the survival rate of probiotics encapsulated in alginate hydrogel. The results show that the freeze-drying survival rate of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) encapsulated in calcium alginate is lower compared to sodium alginate. The loss of survival mainly occurs during the drying process and is positively correlated with the increase of calcium ions concentration. Calcium ions cause damage to the cell wall/membrane integrity, suppress metabolic activity, and reduce intracellular calcium ion concentration, leading to the loss of probiotic viability.

Microencapsulation of probiotic lactobacilli with shellac as moisture barrier and to allow controlled release

Xue Huang et al.

Summary: Microcapsules with LAC addition were designed in this study to provide better moisture barrier and controlled release in the digestive tract. Results showed that microcapsules with LAC addition had larger particle size, denser structure, lower hygroscopicity, and slower solubilization in water. Probiotic survivals followed the order of ALG/WPI/LAC >= ALG/WPI >= ALG/LAC > ALG in digestive juices.

Exfoliated bentonite/alginate nanocomposite hydrogel enhances intestinal delivery of probiotics by resistance to gastric pH and on-demand disintegration

Jihyun Kim et al.

Summary: The developed exfoliated bentonite/alginate nanocomposite hydrogels show promising results in protecting probiotics and releasing them in the intestine. Compared to alginate hydrogel, the nanocomposite demonstrated better survival and gradual release in acidic conditions, making it a potential platform for intestinal delivery of probiotics.

Fabrication and characterization of Ca(II)-alginate-based beads combined with different polysaccharides as vehicles for delivery, release and storage of tea polyphenols

Qian Li et al.

Summary: The study showed that adding appropriate filler materials could increase the encapsulation efficiency of tea polyphenols. The porosity of alginate beads was not effective in retarding the diffusion of polyphenols, but alginate beads coated with chitosan exhibited the best performance in delaying the release of tea polyphenols.

Single-Step Synthesis of Alginate Microgels Enveloped with a Covalent Polymeric Shell: A Simple Way to Protect Encapsulated Cells

So Hyun Ahn et al.

Summary: Microgels of biopolymers such as alginate are commonly used for cell encapsulation. By enveloping alginate gels with a thin shell of a covalently cross-linked gel, the microcapsules become more robust and stable under various conditions, enabling long-term viability and functionality of encapsulated cells.

Interpenetrating polymer network hydrogels of soy protein isolate and sugar beet pectin as a potential carrier for probiotics

Wenjia Yan et al.

Summary: The combination of SPI and SBP can be used to prepare an IPN hydrogel with tunable properties. The addition of probiotics resulted in changes in gel properties, decreasing storage modulus and hardness. Probiotics exposed tryptophan-containing extension regions within SPI molecules and hindered the formation of covalent cross-links or physical interactions during gelation.

Encapsulation of fruit peel proanthocyanidins in biopolymer microgels: Relationship between structural characteristics and encapsulation/release properties

Qian Li et al.

Summary: In this study, biopolymer microgels were fabricated using sodium alginate to encapsulate two proanthocyanidins (PAs) fractions isolated from Choerospondias axillaris fruit peels, showing that the molecular weight of PAs affects their entrapment efficiency and release profile. Both PAs fractions exhibited strong antioxidant and prebiotic activities, with the higher molecular weight F2 fraction having higher entrapment efficiency and slower release rate. This study emphasizes the importance of selecting nutraceuticals with appropriate molecular characteristics for optimal encapsulation and release properties.

Encapsulation of bifidobacterium in alginate microgels improves viability and targeted gut release

Zipei Zhang et al.

Summary: Biopolymer microgels were designed to encapsulate and protect probiotics before releasing them in the colon. Encapsulation greatly improved probiotics' stability, with different formulations showing varying degrees of effectiveness under simulated gastrointestinal conditions. Further studies using in vivo models are required to validate these findings.

Effects of various polysaccharides (alginate, carrageenan, gums, chitosan) and their combination with prebiotic saccharides (resistant starch, lactosucrose, lactulose) on the encapsulation of probiotic bacteria Lactobacillus casei 01 strain

Linh Phuong Ta et al.

Summary: In this study, various polysaccharides and prebiotic components were used for encapsulation of probiotic Lactobacillus, showing that starch-alginate and lactosucrose LS55L-alginate beads had the most stable textural properties and improved resistance to gastric conditions. Incorporation of prebiotics into alginate-based encapsulation could be effective in developing micro delivery systems for probiotics.
