Microencapsulation and Fermentation of Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-5 and Bifidobacterium BB-12
Because of poor survival of probiotic bacteria, microencapsulation evolved from the immobilized cell culture technology used in the biotechnological industry.Two probiotic strains, Bifidobacterium (BB-12) and Lactobacillus acidophilus (LA-5) Gags were immobilized in calcium alginate by extrusion method.Encapsulation parameters and efficacy of this
