Viability of Free and Alginate-Carrageenan Gum Coated Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lacticaseibacillus casei in Functional Cottage Cheese. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:13840-13851. [PMID: 38559922 PMCID: PMC10976411 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c08588] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Revised: 02/15/2024] [Accepted: 02/22/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024]
Abstract
The survivability of encapsulated and nonencapsulated probiotics consisting of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lacticaseibacillus casei and the nutritional, physicochemical, and sensorial features of cottage cheese were investigated under refrigeration storage at 4 °C for 28 days. Microbeads of L. acidophilus and L. casei were developed using 2% sodium alginate, 1.5% sodium alginate and 0.5% carrageenan, and 1% sodium alginate and 1% carrageenan using an encapsulation technique to assess the probiotic viability in cottage cheese under different gastrointestinal conditions (SGF (simulated gastric juice), SIF (simulated intestinal fluid)), and bile salt) and storage conditions. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) elucidated the stable structure of microbeads, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed the presence probiotics in the microcapsules, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) demonstrated the amorphous state of microbeads. Furthermore, the highest encapsulation efficiency was observed for alginate 1% and carrageenan 1% microbeads (T3), i.e., 95%. Likewise, viability was recorded in T3 against SGF, SIF, and bile salt solution, i.e., 8.5, 8.8, and 8.9 log CFU/g at 80 min of exposure, compared to the control. The results of pH showed a significant (p < 0.05) decline that ultimately increased the titratable acidity. Nutritional analysis of cottage cheese revealed the highest levels of ash, protein, and total solids in T3, exhibiting mean values of 3.2, 22, and 43.2 g/100 g, respectively, after 28 days of storage. The sensory evaluation of cottage cheese demonstrated better color, flavor, and textural attributes in T3. Conclusively, synergistic addition of L. acidophilus and L. casei encapsulated with alginate-carrageenan gums was found to be more effective in improving the viability of probiotics in cottage cheese than noncapsulated cells while carrying better magnitudes of ash and protein, lower acidity, and pleasant taste.

Protein-polysaccharide based double network microbeads improves stability of Bifidobacterium infantis ATCC 15697 in a gastro-Intestinal tract model (TIM-1). Int J Pharm 2024; 652:123804. [PMID: 38220120 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.123804] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2023] [Revised: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 01/16/2024]
Abstract
Microencapsulation of probiotics is a main technique employed to improve cell survival in gastrointestinal tract (GIT). The present study investigated the impact of utilizing proteins i.e. Whey Protein Isolates (WPI), Pea Protein Isolates (PPI) or (WPI + PPI) complex based microbeads as encapsulating agents on the encapsulation efficiency (EE), diameter, morphology along with the survival and viability of Bifidobacterium infantis ATCC 15697. Results revealed that WPI + PPI combination had the highest EE% of the probiotics up to 94.09 % and the smoothest surface with less visible holes. WPI based beads revealed lower EE% and smaller size than PPI based ones. In addition, WPI based beads showed rough surface with visible signs of cracks, while PPI beads showed dense surfaces with pores and depressions. In contrast, the combination of the two proteins resulted in compact and smooth beads with less visible pores/wrinkles. The survival in gastrointestinal tract (GIT) was observed through TNO in-vitro gastrointestinal model (TIM-1) and results illustrated that all microbeads shrank in gastric phase while swelled in intestinal phase. In addition, in-vitro survival rate of free cells was very low in gastric phase (18.2 %) and intestinal phase (27.5 %). The free cells lost their viability after 28 days of storage (2.66 CFU/mL) with a maximum log reduction of 6.76, while all the encapsulated probiotic showed more than 106-7 log CFU/g viable cell. It was concluded that encapsulation improved the viability of probiotics in GIT and utilization of WPI + PPI in combination provided better protection to probiotics.

Abstract
Carrageenan, a polysaccharide derived from red algae, has a long history of use as a food additive in food. Carrageenan comes in three classes, κ-, ι-, and λ-carrageenan, with different properties attributed to their organosulfate substitution levels, and their interactions with other food components give rise to properties such as water holding, thickening, gelling, and stabilizing. Over the years, carrageenan has been used in wide variety of food products such as meat, dairy, and flour-based products, and their mechanisms and functions in these matrices have also been studied. With the emergence of novel food technologies, carrageenan's potential applications have been extensively explored alongside, including encapsulation, edible films/coatings, plant-based analogs, and 3D/4D printing. As the food technology evolves, the required functions of food ingredients have changed, and carrageenan is being investigated for its role in these new areas. However, there are many similarities in the use of carrageenan in both classic and emerging applications, and understanding the underlying principles of carrageenan will lead to a proper use of carrageenan in emerging food products. This review focuses on the potential of carrageenan as a food ingredient in these emerging technologies mainly based on papers published within the past five years, highlighting its functions and applications to better understand its role in food products.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the probiotic potential of Lactobacillus brevis G145 isolated from traditional Khiki cheese, analyzing pH and bile resistance, physicochemical properties of the strain (hydrophobicity, auto- and co-aggregation), cholesterol removal, hydroxyl radical scavenging activity, adhesion ability to Caco-2 cells monolayer, and adhesion competition on Enterobacter aerogenes (competition, inhibition and replacement assays). Also, DNase, haemolytic activity, biogenic amine production and antibiotic susceptibility was investigated. L. brevis G145 was resistant to acidic pHs, bile salts, and simulated gastrointestinal conditions, and showed remarkable cell surface hydrophobicity (49.56%), co-aggregation (28.90%), auto-aggregation (34.10%), adhesion (9.40%), cholesterol removal (45.50%), and antioxidant (52.19%) properties. According to the results of well diffusion agar and disc diffusion agar tests, the highest and lowest inhibition zones were accounted for Staphylococcus aureus and Enterobacter aerogenes, respectively. The isolate did not show haemolytic, DNAse, and biogenic amine production properties. It was sensitive to antibiotics erythromycin, ciprofloxacin, and chloramphenicol, and semi-sensitive to imipenem, ampicillin, nalidixic acid, and nitrofurantoin. According to the findings of probiotic tests L. brevis G145 can be used as a in the food industry.

Abstract
Survivability of probiotics is severely affected by harsh gastrointestinal conditions. In the present study, microbeads of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG were formulated using alginate (1.5% w/v) and combination of alginate (1.5% w/v) with xanthan gum (0.5% w/v) through an emulsion technique to improve bacterial viability in low pH orange juice and in gastrointestinal conditions. The microbeads were tested for encapsulation efficiency, survivability in bile salt, SGF (simulated gastric juice), SIF (simulated intestinal fluid), and storage stability. Probiotic orange juice was formulated and tested for physicochemical parameters (pH, titratable acidity, and total sugars) and sensorial properties during storage. Gum-coated alginate microbeads (T3) showed higher encapsulation efficiency, i.e., 95.2% compared to alginate microbeads (T2), i.e., 86.85%. Similarly, T3 showed the highest resistance against bile salt (8.50 log CFU/g), SGF (7.95 log CFU/g), and SIF (8.0 log CFU/g) during 80 min exposure compared to T2 and free cells. The viability of gum-coated alginate beads (T3) remained above 107 CFU/g in gastrointestinal conditions and at the end of 21 days storage (8.3 log CFU/mL). All physicochemical parameters of probiotic juice were significantly (
) decreased with respect to storage except acidity. In addition, minimal changes in physicochemical parameters were observed in T3 compared to other treatments. Treatment had no significant impact on the sensory characteristics of juice, but storage had a significant effect (
) on the sensory characteristics of juice. The alginate gum microbeads improve the survivability of probiotics for targeted delivery. Hence, encapsulated probiotics can be used for functional beverage development to take advantage of their therapeutic benefits.

Abstract
The application of probiotics is limited by the loss of survival due to food processing, storage, and gastrointestinal tract. Encapsulation is a key technology for overcoming these challenges. The review focuses on the latest progress in probiotic encapsulation since 2020, especially precision engineering on microbial surfaces and microbial-mediated role. Currently, the encapsulation materials include polysaccharides and proteins, followed by lipids, which is a traditional mainstream trend, while novel plant extracts and polyphenols are on the rise. Other natural materials and processing by-products are also involved. The encapsulation types are divided into rough multicellular encapsulation, precise single-cell encapsulation, and microbial-mediated encapsulation. Recent emerging techniques include cryomilling, 3D printing, spray-drying with a three-fluid coaxial nozzle, and microfluidic. Encapsulated probiotics applied in food is an upward trend in which "classic probiotic foods" (yogurt, cheese, butter, chocolate, etc.) are dominated, supplemented by "novel probiotic foods" (tea, peanut butter, and various dry-based foods). Future efforts mainly include the effect of novel encapsulation materials on probiotics in the gut, encapsulation strategy oriented by microbial enthusiasm and precise encapsulation, development of novel techniques that consider both cost and efficiency, and co-encapsulation of multiple strains. In conclusion, encapsulation provides a strong impetus for the food application of probiotics.
