This study aimed to evaluate the protective effect of flaxseed mucilage on the co-extrusion microencapsulation of GG.
Core flow rate, chitosan coating, and flaxseed mucilage concentration were optimised for the microencapsulation of . The microbeads were characterised and evaluated on microencapsulation efficiency and cell released after 6 h of sequential digestion.
The optimised parameters for the microencapsulation were 1.0 mL/min core flow rate, 0.4% (w/v) chitosan coating, and 0.4% (w/v) flaxseed mucilage. The microbeads with flaxseed mucilage in core and wall materials had a smooth surface with 781.3 µm diameter, the highest microencapsulation efficiency (98.8% w/w), lowest swelling (5196.7% w/w) and erosion ratio (515.5% w/w), and least cell release (<40% w/w) with 9.31 log CFU mL after sequential digestion.
This study showed the protective capacity of flaxseed mucilage towards the GG during microencapsulation and gastrointestinal environment.
本研究旨在评估亚麻籽胶对 GG 共挤出微胶囊化的保护作用。
优化核心流速、壳聚糖包衣和亚麻籽胶浓度,用于 的微胶囊化。对微珠进行表征,并在连续消化 6 小时后评估微胶囊化效率和细胞释放。
微胶囊化的优化参数为 1.0 mL/min 核心流速、0.4%(w/v)壳聚糖包衣和 0.4%(w/v)亚麻籽胶。具有核心和壁材中添加亚麻籽胶的 微珠表面光滑,直径为 781.3 µm,微胶囊化效率最高(98.8%w/w),溶胀率最低(5196.7%w/w)和侵蚀率最低(515.5%w/w),经连续消化后细胞释放量最少(<40%w/w),为 9.31 log CFU mL。
本研究表明,在微胶囊化和胃肠道环境中,亚麻籽胶对 GG 具有保护能力。
