| Sumario: | Probiotics provide certain health benefits to the consumer. There are many factors that can affect its viability. Microencapsulation aims to improve the preservation of probiotic organisms that may be exposed to adverse conditions. Among the factors contributing to maintain viability of the probiotic, the kind of encapsulated element used is very important, the best known are alginate, whey protein, pectin, isolated soy protein, carrageenan and chitosan. For all this, the aim of this paper is to show a review of the encapsulated elements used in the microencapsulation of probiotic cultures. |
