Abstract

Background and Objectives

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of incorporation of different plant-based polysaccharides (pectin, maltodextrin (MD) and gum arabic (GA)) with pea protein isolate (PPI) to obtain maximum encapsulation efficiency (EE), gastrointestinal (GI) stability and yield of probiotic Lactobacillus casei through spray drying. Several characteristics of encapsulated vegan probiotic powders were evaluated including functional, structural, and thermal characteristics.

Findings

The results showed that the highest EE (93.9%) and in vitro GI stability (8.58 log CFU/mL) was obtained with the powder encapsulated with PPI + GA. Variation in particle size was observed for all the samples. Confocal laser micrographs and vital staining revealed the highest viability of probiotic L. casei cells that were obtained with those encapsulated in PPI + GA. Thermal properties showed that the incorporation of GA increased the glass transition temperature up to 189.2°C, which represented a higher thermal stability of the powder.

Conclusions

PPI + GA coated powder was found with acceptable powder characteristics and maximum probiotic survivability.

Significance and Novelty

In this study, spray drying was used to encapsulate the probiotic bacteria which is a convenient and effective process for industrial applications. Characterization of the spray-dried encapsulated probiotic powder has been done, which helps to understand the behavior of powder in terms of solubility, flowability, thermal stability, and probiotic viability. PPI was used as carrier material, which bridges the gap between already available spray-dried products containing MD as carrier material, which could spike blood sugar levels if consumed over an extended period of time. As per the results, target product applications could include sports bars, cereals, and baking where dispersibility is not imperative.

期刊介绍： Cereal Chemistry publishes high-quality papers reporting novel research and significant conceptual advances in genetics, biotechnology, composition, processing, and utilization of cereal grains (barley, maize, millet, oats, rice, rye, sorghum, triticale, and wheat), pulses (beans, lentils, peas, etc.), oilseeds, and specialty crops (amaranth, flax, quinoa, etc.). Papers advancing grain science in relation to health, nutrition, pet and animal food, and safety, along with new methodologies, instrumentation, and analysis relating to these areas are welcome, as are research notes and topical review papers. The journal generally does not accept papers that focus on nongrain ingredients, technology of a commercial or proprietary nature, or that confirm previous research without extending knowledge. Papers that describe product development should include discussion of underlying theoretical principles.
