Double layer encapsulation of Lactobacillus acidophilus by Emulsion and spray-drying Techniques: Study characteristics survival microcapsules under simulated gastrointestinal conditions

Background: Nowadays, Microencapsulation of probiotic bacteria is the newest method for increasing the survival ability of probiotics in Food products. The Lactobacillus acidophilus as a probiotic bacterium has more beneficial effects and the low survival of this bacterium under food processing conditions and adverse environment have been studied by many researchers. OBJECTIVES: In this study, ...

Products containing probiotic bacteria are gaining popularity, increasing the importance of their accurate speciation. Unfortunately, studies have suggested that improper labeling of probiotic species is common in commercial products. Species identification of a bank of commercial probiotic strains was attempted using partial 16S rDNA sequencing, carbohydrate fermentation analysis, and cellular...

ABSTRACT: The growth rate of two probiotic strains with documented health effects was studied in ultra-high temperature treated milk separately and beside each other. The probiotic strains were Lactobacillus acidophilus (La-5) and Bifidobacterium lactis (Bb-12). Fermentation was followed for 12 h at 37 ˚C and the samples were analyzed for pH, titratable acidity and viable counts of probiotic ba...

The hypocholesterolemic effects of Lactobacillus acidophilus 43121 (43121) and a mixture of Lactobacillus casei and Bifidobacterium longum (MIX) were studied in hypercholesterolemia-induced pigs. Serum total cholesterol was decreased by supplementation of either 43121 or MIX, although, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol was not changed. The hypocholesterolemic effect of 43121 and MIX was main...

Pharmaceutical probiotics have been used as alternative treatments or preventative therapies for a variety of clinical diseases. The overuse of antibiotics and emergence of multiple-antibiotic resistant pathogens has refocused clinical attention on the field of probiotics. Anaerobic infections which seem to respond well to probiotics are infections which involve the disruption of normal microbi...

Lactobacillus helveticus R0052 is a commercially available strain that is widely used in probiotic preparations. The genome sequence consisted of 2,129,425 bases. Comparative analysis showed that it was unique among L. helveticus strains in that it contained genes encoding mucus-binding proteins similar to those found in Lactobacillus acidophilus.

the aim of this study was to determine the suitability of different doses (0, 0.4, 0.8 and 1.2%) of coffee extract on fermentation and survival of lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidobacterium bifidum in milk and yoghurt. the produced samples were examined in terms of ph, acidity and microbial count during incubation period and permanence. the number of lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidobacte...
