However, the incorporation of dairy by-products as alternative encapsulating agents stands out for its potential to improve encapsulation efficiency, confer additional functional properties and promote sustainability by valorising industrial waste.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Aims</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>This study aimed to evaluate the microencapsulation of <i>Lacticaseibacillus paracasei</i> ML33, <i>Lactiplantibacillus pentosus</i> ML82 and <i>Lactiplantibacillus plantarum</i> ATCC8014 via ionic gelation using different dairy by-products.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Methods</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>The microencapsulation was performed using vibratory extrusion technology employing bovine and buffalo cheese whey, whey permeate and ricotta whey combined with starch and sodium alginate. The resulting microparticles were evaluated for encapsulating efficiency, morphology and probiotic viability during storage, under simulated gastrointestinal conditions and under osmotic stress.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Major findings</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>All encapsulated strains exhibited an initial viability of log 8.8 colony-forming units (cfu)/mL. On the first day of storage, probiotic survival under simulated gastrointestinal conditions was 94.44 and 96.01% for bovine and buffalo cheese whey matrices, respectively, highlighting their superior protective capacity. After 60 days of storage at 4°C, the encapsulated microorganisms remained viable (>log 7 cfu/mL), except for <i>L. pentosus</i> ML82 encapsulated with whey permeate and ricotta whey. Bovine cheese whey was the most effective encapsulating material across all strains tested.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Scientific implications</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>These findings demonstrate that dairy by-products, in combination with starch and sodium alginate, provide effective protection for probiotics under adverse conditions and represent promising encapsulating matrices.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":13822,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Dairy Technology","volume":"78 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1471-0307.70023","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144300024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
