Abstract
The goal of this inquiry was to analyze the impact of incorporating Enterococcus faecium and Streptococcus thermophilus using a novel premix-spray method on the following aspects: growth rate, digestive enzyme activity, antioxidant levels, gut microbiome composition, and the morphological characteristics of the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum in broiler chickens. Furthermore, this study explored the potential benefits of duo strains of probiotics (DSP) in reducing flatulence, regulating stool microbial population, and improving diarrhea symptoms. A total of 360 one-day-old mixed-sex Plymouth Rock chicks (IW: 51 ± 33 g) were randomly divided into two treatment groups. Each treatment group was further divided into 9 replicated cages, with 20 chicks housed in each cage. The control group (CG) received a basal diet composed of a soy-corn mixture, whereas the experimental group was provided with DSP (CON + 0.5 % probiotic). The results showed that the increase in the body weight of broilers at the end of the fourth week in the control group and the treatment group was 1.576 versus 1.847 kg, respectively. Throughout the 30-day trial period, the DSP diet significantly improved the specific growth rate (SGR), survival rate (SR), and body weight gain (BWG) while decreasing the feed conversion ratio (FCR) (P < 0.05). The DSP diet also enhanced the Enzymatic digestion (protease, amylase, lipase, and trypsin) and antioxidant potential (SOD, MDA, and catalase) of the broilers compared to those in the CG. The results revealed significant enhancements in the tissue morphology of the duodenum and jejunum following the combined treatment for a duration of 4 weeks. The DSP treatments significantly increased microvillus height in the duodenum and jejunum but had no notable effects in the ileum. Incorporating 0.5 % DSP in poultry feed improved the relative abundance of Ruminococcaceae and Faecalibacteriumin, leading to better management of diarrhea and reduced presence of E. coli compared to the control diet. Additionally, including probiotics in the basal diet reduced H2S, CO2, NH3, and CH4 levels. Overall, the study suggests that the new spray-drying approach with these strains has potential for supplementing probiotics in poultry feed processing, and including DSP in broiler chicken diets has beneficial effects.

Use of Nile tilapia (Oreocromis niloticus) processing residues in the production of pâtés with the addition of oregano (Origanum vulgare) essential oil. PLoS One 2023; 18:e0296106. [PMID: 38109370 PMCID: PMC10727447 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0296106] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 12/20/2023] Open
Abstract
The effect of the use of Nilo tilapia filleting residues in the production of pâtés with the addition of oregano essential oil stored for 90 days at 4 °C was evaluated. For that, 5 treatments were performed as follows: TSA-control treatment; TES with the addition of sodium erythorbate; and formulation TOE1 with 600 ppm oregano essential oil; TOE2 with 1000 ppm essential oil; and TOE3 with 1400 ppm essential oil. The pâtés showed adequate technological and physicochemical characteristics and microbiological counts within the legislation standards. No significant differences were observed in the luminosity of the pâté formulations during storage, and the addition of oil contributed to the increase in a* values and stability of b* values. Regarding the lipid and protein oxidation, TOE3 showed lower values at the end of the shelf-life. The addition of essential oil did not affect the hardness and cohesiveness of the products. The fatty acids in greater amounts in the samples were linoleic, oleic, palmitic, and stearic acids. The analysis of biogenic amines indicated that only the treatments with the highest amounts of sodium erythorbate (TES and TOE1) showed losses of spermidine. It was observed that decreasing the inclusion of sodium erythorbate and increasing the inclusion of oregano essential oil resulted in a drop in cadaverine values. A total of 46 volatile compounds were detected in the samples with the highest amount of free fatty acids and all the formulations were well accepted sensorially.

Co-encapsulation of Lactobacillus plantarum and bioactive compounds extracted from red beet stem (Beta vulgaris L.) by spray dryer. Food Res Int 2023; 167:112607.

Abstract
Probiotic bacteria and bioactive compounds obtained from plant origin stand out as ingredients with the potential to increase the healthiness of functional foods, as there is currently a recurrent search for them. Probiotics and bioactive compounds are sensitive to intrinsic and extrinsic factors in the processing and packaging of the finished product. In this sense, the present study aims to evaluate the co-encapsulation by spray dryer (inlet air temperature 120 °C, air flow 40 L / min, pressure of 0.6 MPa and 1.5 mm nozzle diameter) of probiotic bacteria (L.plantarum) and compounds extracted from red beet stems (betalains) in order to verify the interaction between both and achieve better viability and resistance of the encapsulated material. When studying the co-encapsulation of L.plantarum and betalains extracted from beet stems, an unexpected influence was observed with a decrease in probiotic viability in the highest concentration of extract (100 %), on the other hand, the concentration of 50 % was the best enabled and maintained the survival of L.plantarum in conditions of 25 °C (63.06 %), 8 °C (88.80 %) and -18 °C (89.28 %). The viability of the betalains and the probiotic was better preserved in storage at 8 and -18 °C, where the encapsulated stability for 120 days was successfully achieved. Thus, the polyfunctional formulation developed in this study proved to be promising, as it expands the possibilities of application and development of new foods.

Abstract
The application of probiotics is limited by the loss of survival due to food processing, storage, and gastrointestinal tract. Encapsulation is a key technology for overcoming these challenges. The review focuses on the latest progress in probiotic encapsulation since 2020, especially precision engineering on microbial surfaces and microbial-mediated role. Currently, the encapsulation materials include polysaccharides and proteins, followed by lipids, which is a traditional mainstream trend, while novel plant extracts and polyphenols are on the rise. Other natural materials and processing by-products are also involved. The encapsulation types are divided into rough multicellular encapsulation, precise single-cell encapsulation, and microbial-mediated encapsulation. Recent emerging techniques include cryomilling, 3D printing, spray-drying with a three-fluid coaxial nozzle, and microfluidic. Encapsulated probiotics applied in food is an upward trend in which "classic probiotic foods" (yogurt, cheese, butter, chocolate, etc.) are dominated, supplemented by "novel probiotic foods" (tea, peanut butter, and various dry-based foods). Future efforts mainly include the effect of novel encapsulation materials on probiotics in the gut, encapsulation strategy oriented by microbial enthusiasm and precise encapsulation, development of novel techniques that consider both cost and efficiency, and co-encapsulation of multiple strains. In conclusion, encapsulation provides a strong impetus for the food application of probiotics.
