Abstract
Probiotic oral delivery is challenged by harsh gastrointestinal conditions and environmental stressors in the body. This study presents the construction of durable nanoshells composed of an Fe3+-phytic acid metal–organic complex around individual probiotic cells, providing exceptional cytoprotective properties, in single-cell nanoencapsulation. Nanoencapsulated Levilactobacillus brevis maintains high viability under simulated gastric fluid and the antibiotic tetracycline. The Fe3+-phytic acid nanoshells provide an effective platform for improving the viability and functionality of probiotics in therapeutic and nutritional applications.
期刊介绍:
Langmuir is an interdisciplinary journal publishing articles in the following subject categories:
Colloids: surfactants and self-assembly, dispersions, emulsions, foams
Interfaces: adsorption, reactions, films, forces
Biological Interfaces: biocolloids, biomolecular and biomimetic materials
Materials: nano- and mesostructured materials, polymers, gels, liquid crystals
Electrochemistry: interfacial charge transfer, charge transport, electrocatalysis, electrokinetic phenomena, bioelectrochemistry
Devices and Applications: sensors, fluidics, patterning, catalysis, photonic crystals
However, when high-impact, original work is submitted that does not fit within the above categories, decisions to accept or decline such papers will be based on one criteria: What Would Irving Do?
Langmuir ranks #2 in citations out of 136 journals in the category of Physical Chemistry with 113,157 total citations. The journal received an Impact Factor of 4.384*.
This journal is also indexed in the categories of Materials Science (ranked #1) and Multidisciplinary Chemistry (ranked #5).
