Project description:Fruit juices are successfully proposed as suitable probiotic vehicles, but researchers' efforts should be developed to avoid effects of bacteria overgrowing on sensory and nutritional cues of final products and to preserve viability of probiotic bacteria during storage. In the present study, encapsulation of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG strain in alginate systems was performed through ionotropic gelation technology. The alginate systems were optimized by using Box-Behnken Design to investigate the influence of three independent variables at three different levels: particle mean size and polydispersity index. The optimized probiotic-loaded alginate particles were added to orange juice samples. The viability of the probiotic strain, both as free and microencapsulated, was evaluated in orange juice stored at 5°C for 35 days. Morphology and size of probiotic-loaded alginate particles were found suitable for incorporation into juice. TEM analysis revealed that unloaded systems were clustered as nanoparticles (CL_NP), while the loaded sample appeared as a coated system (Coated_LGG). Microbiological evaluation revealed that the encapsulation assured the survival of Coated_LGG, with a reduction of less than 1-unit log in cellular density after 35 days of refrigerated storage in orange juice. Results indicated that the encapsulated bacteria did not affect the macroscopic properties neither the microbiological characteristic of orange juice; thus, it can be proposed as functional food.

Project description:Techniques capable of producing small-sized probiotic microcapsules with high encapsulation yields are of industrial and scientific interest. In this study, an innovative membrane emulsification system was investigated in the production of microcapsules containing Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG® (Lr), sodium alginate (ALG), and whey protein (WPI), rice protein (RPC), or pea protein (PPC) as encapsulating agents. The microcapsules were characterized by particle size distribution, optical microscopy, encapsulation yield, morphology, water activity, hygroscopicity, thermal properties, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and probiotic survival during in vitro simulation of gastrointestinal conditions. The innovative encapsulation technique resulted in microcapsules with diameters varying between 18 and 29 μm, and encapsulation yields > 93%. Combining alginate and whey, rice, or pea protein improved encapsulation efficiency and thermal properties. The encapsulation provided resistance to gastrointestinal fluids, resulting in high probiotic viability at the end of the intestinal phase (> 7.18 log CFU g−1). The proposed encapsulation technology represents an attractive alternative to developing probiotic microcapsules for future food applications.

Project description:Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been studied for several decades to understand and determine their mechanism and interaction within the matrix into which they are introduced. This study aimed to determine the spatial distribution of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) in a dairy matrix and to decipher its behaviour towards milk components, especially fat globules. Two strains of this widely studied bacterium with expected probiotic effects were used: LGG WT with pili on the cell surface and its pili-depleted mutant-LGG ΔspaCBA-in order to determine the involvement of these filamentous proteins. In this work, it was shown that LGG ΔspaCBA was able to limit creaming with a greater impact than the wild-type counterpart. Moreover, confocal imaging evidenced a preferential microbial distribution as aggregates for LGG WT, while the pili-depleted strain tended to be homogenously distributed and found as individual chains. The observed differences in creaming are attributed to the indirect implication of SpaCBA pili. Indeed, the bacteria-to-bacteria interaction surpassed the bacteria-to-matrix interaction, reducing the bacterial surface exposed to raw milk. Conversely, LGG ΔspaCBA may form a physical barrier responsible for preventing milk fat globules from rising to the surface.
