Lactobacillus acidophilus as a Probiotics

Preparation and application characteristics of microencapsulated Lactobacillus acidophilus as probiotics for dogs.

In this article, preparation and application characteristics of microencapsulated Lactobacillus acidophilus were investigated. Results indicated that the optimum condition for preparation of micro encapsulation were 10% (w/v) wall material and the temperature of 20°C, respectively. Many micropores in the porous starch micro particles was also observed by Scanning Electron Microscope. Furthermor...

Survival of Lactobacillus Acidophilus as Probiotic Bacteria using Chitosan Nanoparticles

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...

Safety and protective effect of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus casei used as probiotic agent in vivo

The protective effect of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus casei, isolated from fresh cow milk, was studied in vivo. Toxicological data of rat serum revealed that the Lactobacillus isolates had liver improvement functions. Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activities of the rats dosed with Lactobacillus isolates alone were lower (15.50 and 18.27 iu/l) than the control. There was a ...
