Ambient storage of microencapsulated <i>Lactobacillus plantarum</i> ST-III by complex coacervation of type-A gelatin and gum arabic

Abstract

microcapsules behaved the best during spray drying, ambient storage and heat treatment. The results proved that sucrose addition was necessary for cell viability against environmental stresses, and that encapsulation by complex coacervation was a positive factor in cell protection, especially at neutral coacervation pH.
