Effect of different drying methods on the functional properties of probiotics encapsulated using prebiotic substances. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2023; 107:1575-1588. [PMID: 36729228 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-023-12398-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2022] [Revised: 01/16/2023] [Accepted: 01/19/2023] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
Probiotics and prebiotics together work synergistically as synbiotics and confer various health benefits. Many studies on synbiotic foods only focus on the survival of probiotics but fail to evaluate their functional properties. The impact on functional properties should be explored to better understand its therapeutic efficacy. In this work, probiotics (Lactiplantibacillus plantarum NCIM 2083) were encapsulated with prebiotics (fructooligosaccharide + whey protein + maltodextrin) using spray-drying (SD), freeze-drying (FD), spray-freeze-drying (SFD), and refractance window-drying (RWD) techniques. Aggregation, intestinal adhesion, antagonistic activity, and bile salt hydrolase (BSH) activity of probiotics were studied before and after the encapsulation process. The SFD probiotics showed better aggregation ability (79% at 24-h incubation), on par with free cells (FC) (81% at 24-h incubation). The co-aggregation ability of encapsulated probiotics has drastic variations with each pathogenic strain. The adhesion ability of probiotics in chicken intestinal mucus was assessed by the crystal violet method, indicating no significant variations between FC and SFD probiotics. Also, encapsulated probiotics exhibit antagonistic activity (zone of inhibition in mm) against gut pathogens E. coli (11.33 to 17.34), S. faecalis (8.83 to 15.32), L. monocytogenes (13.67 to 18), S. boydii (12.17 to 15.5), and S. typhi (2.17 to 6.86). Overall, these studies confirm the significance and impact of various drying techniques on the functionality of encapsulated probiotics in synbiotic powders. KEY POINTS: • Understanding the relevance of processing effects on the functionality of probiotics. • Spray-freeze-dried probiotics showed superior functional properties. • The encapsulation process had no significant impact on bile salt hydrolase activity.

Abstract
The term “probiotics” has first been used in 1907 by Elie Metchnikoff. Since then, probiotics have been part of research not only in regards of digestive health, but also inflammatory diseases. Lately, there has been an increased interest of probiotic’s effects in skincare. The management of atopic dermatitis, acne, psoriasis, photo aging, skin cancer, intimate care, oral care, wound healing is getting harder each passing day, due to increased antibiotic resistance and other side effects of conventional therapy. Therefore, new ingredients have been investigated and probiotics have been proved to be effective in treating various skin conditions.
This review aims to evaluate the scientific evidence on topical and oral probiotics, and to evaluate the efficacy of cosmetic and dermatological products containing probiotics. Many studies have shown that skin and gut microbiome alterations have an important role in skin health. Although this is a new topic in dermatology and cosmetology, there have been some promising results in lots of research studies that the use of probiotics in cosmetic products may help improve the patient’s outcome. While oral probiotics have been shown to promote gut health, which influences the host immune system and helps treat different skin diseases, the mechanism of action of topical probiotics is not yet fully understood. Although the number of commercial probiotic cosmetic products released in the market is increasing and most of the studies have not shown any serious side effect of probiotics, further studies, in larger and heterogeneous groups are needed.

Abstract
Microencapsulation is a protective process for materials that are sensitive to harsh conditions encounted during food manufacture and storage. The objectives of this research were to manufacture a milk protein-based delivery system (MPDS) containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) using skim milk powder and to investigate the effects of manufacturing variables, such as reaction temerpature and holding time, on the physiccohemical properties of MPDS and viability of LGG under dairy food processing and storage conditions. MPDS was prepared using chymosin at varing reaction temperatures from 25°C to 40°C for 10 min and holding times from 5 to 30 min at 25°C. The morphological and physicochemical properties of MPDS were evaluated using a confocal laser scanning microscope and a particle size analyzer, respectively. The number of viable cells were determined using the standard plate method. Spherical-shaped MPDS particles were successfully manufactured. The particle size of MPDS was increased with a decrease in reaction temperature and an increase in holding time. As reaction temperature and holding time were increased, the encapsulation efficiency of LGG in MPDS was increased. During pasteurization, the use of MPDS resulted in an increase in the LGG viability. The encapsulation of LGG in MPDS led to an increase in the viability of LGG in simulated gastric fluid. In addition, the LGG viability was enhanced with an increase in reaction temperature and holding time. In conclusions, the encapsulation of LGG in MPDS could be an effective way of improving the viability of LGG during pasturization process in various foods.

Abstract
The effect of bacteria (Bacillus clausii) addition on the culturability and antioxidant activity of resveratrol prepared by spray drying was studied in this work. Inulin and lactose were employed as carrying agents and their performance compared. Resveratrol microencapsulated in inulin showed the highest antioxidant activity (26%) against free radicals. The co-encapsulated materials (bacteria and resveratrol) in inulin and lactose showed similar activities (21%, and 23%, respectively) suggesting that part of resveratrol was absorbed by the bacteria. Particles showed a regular spherical morphology with smooth surfaces, and size in the micrometer range (2–25 μm). The absence of bacteria in the SEM micrographs and the culturability activity suggested the preservation of the organisms within the micro and co-microencapsulated particles. The present work proposes the preparation of a functional food with probiotic and antioxidant properties.

Abstract
Background Dietary fibers (DFs) are known as potential formulations in human health due to their beneficial effects in control of life-threatening chronic diseases including cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes mellitus, obesity and cancer. In recent decades scientists around the globe have shown tremendous interest to evaluate the interplay between DFs and gastrointestinal (GIT) microbiota. Evidences from various epidemiological and clinical trials have revealed that DFs modulate formation and metabolic activities of the microbial communities residing in the human GIT which in turn play significant roles in maintaining health and well-being. Furthermore, interestingly, a rapidly growing literature indicates success of DFs being prebiotics in immunomodulation, namely the stimulation of innate, cellular and humoral immune response, which could also be linked with their significant roles in modulation of the probiotics (live beneficial microorganisms). Scope and approach The main focus of the current review is to expressively highlight the importance of DFs being prebiotics in human health in association with their influence on gut microbiota. Now in order to significantly achieve the promising health benefits from these prebiotics, it is aimed to develop novel formulations to enhance and scale up their efficacy. Therefore, finally, herein unlike previously published articles, we highlighted different kinds of prebiotic and probiotic formulations which are being regarded as hot research topics among the scientific community now a days. Conclusion The information in this article will specifically provide a platform for the development of novel functional foods the demands for which has risen drastically in recent years.

Abstract
The purposes of this research were to form chitosan oligosaccharide (CSO)/A2
β-casein nano-delivery systems (NDSs) and to investigate the effects of
production variables, such as CSO concentration levels (0.1%,
0.2%, and 0.3%, w/v) and manufacturing temperature (5°C,
20°C, and 35°C), on the production and physicochemical
characteristics of CSO/A2 β-casein NDSs to carry resveratrol. The
morphological characteristics of CSO/A2 β-casein NDSs were assessed by
the use of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and particle size analyzer.
High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was applied to determine the
entrapment efficiency (EE) of resveratrol. In the TEM images, globular-shaped
particles with a diameter from 126 to 266 nm were examined implying that NDSs
was successfully formed. As CSO concentration level was increased, the size and
zeta-potential values of NDSs were significantly (p<0.05) increased. An
increase in manufacturing temperature from 5°C to 35°C resulted in
a significant (p<0.05) increase in the size and polydispersity index of
NDSs. Over 85% of resveratrol was favorably entrapped in CSO/A2
β-casein NDSs. The entrapment efficiency (EE) of resveratrol was
significantly (p<0.05) enhanced with an increase in manufacturing
temperature while CSO concentration level did not significantly affect EE of
resveratrol. There were no significant (p<0.05) changes observed in the
size and polydispersity index of NDSs during heat treatments and storage in
model milk and yogurt indicating that CSO/A2 β-casein NDSs exhibited
excellent physical stability. In conclusion, the CSO concentration level and
manufacturing temperature were the crucial determinants affecting the
physicochemical characteristics of CSO/A2 β-casein NDSs containing
resveratrol.

Abstract
Changes in whey protein (10%, w/v) induced by dry-heating (60 °C for 5 days at a relative humidity of 63%), wet-heating (85 °C for 30 min) or the two-combined heating in absence or presence of inulin (8%, w/v) were studied. Mixture of whey protein and inulin showed significantly higher absorbance at 290 nm than whey protein alone in all heating conditions while only dry-heated samples showed significantly increased absorbance value at 420 nm (p < 0.05). Whey protein after heating showed significantly lower zeta potential and inulin decreased the value of all heated samples further (p < 0.05) except for samples after dry-heating. Heating decreased the free sulfhydryl group content of whey protein samples while presence of inulin decreased further (p < 0.05). Dry-heating decreased while wet-heating increased the surface hydrophobicity of whey protein. Inulin had no effect on the surface hydrophobicity of heated whey protein under dry-heating but decreased under wet-heating.

Abstract
Various bioactive compounds (BCs) often possess poor stability and bioavailability, which makes it difficult for them to exert their potential health benefits. These limitations can be countered by the use of nano-delivery systems (NDSs), such as nanoparticles and nanoemulsions. NDSs can protect BCs against harsh environments during food processing and digestion, and thereby, could enhance the bioavailability of BCs. Although various NDSs have been successfully produced with both synthetic and natural materials, it is necessary to fulfill safety criteria in the delivery materials for food applications. Food-grade materials for the production of NDSs, such as milk proteins and carbohydrates, have received much attention due to their low toxicity, biodegradability, and biocompatibility. Among these, whey proteins-from whey, a byproduct of cheese manufacturing-have been considered as excellent delivery material because of their high nutritional value and various functional properties, such as binding capability to various compounds, gelation, emulsifying properties, and barrier effects. Since the functional and physicochemical properties of whey protein-based NDSs, including size and surface charge, can be key factors affecting the applications of NDSs in food, the objectives of this review are to discuss how manufacturing variables can modulate the functional and physicochemical properties of NDSs and bioavailability of encapsulated BCs to produce efficient NDSs for various BCs.

Abstract
Complex nanosystems fabricated by hybridization of different types of materials such as lipids, proteins, or polysaccharides are usually superior to simple ones in terms of features and applications. Proteins and polysaccharides hold great potential for development of nanocarriers for drug delivery purposes based on their unique biocompatibility, biodegradability, ease of functionalization, improved biodistribution and minimal toxicity profiles. Protein-polysaccharide nanohybrids have gained a lot of attention in the past few years particularly for drug delivery applications. In this review, different hybridization techniques utilized in the fabrication of such nanohybrids including electrostatic complexation, Maillard conjugation, chemical coupling and electrospinning were thoroughly reviewed. Moreover, various formulation factors affecting the characteristics of the formed nanohybrids were discussed. We also reviewed in depth the outcomes of such hybridization ranging from stability enhancement, to toxicity reduction, improved biocompatibility, and drug release modulation. We also gave an insight on their limitations and what hinders their clinical translation and market introduction.

Abstract
Inulin is a commonly used prebiotic ingredients for functional food formulation. The effect of inulin on the gelation properties of whey protein was investigated using whey protein and inulin (WP/inulin) and polymerized whey protein and inulin (PWP/inulin) mixtures at different levels of protein (4-8%, w/v) and inulin (1-5%, w/v). WP/inulin mixture was prepared by heating protein and inulin together while the latter by heating protein alone and then mixed with inulin. Both mixtures were analyzed for turbidity, zeta potential, particle size, and rheological properties. Dispersions became more opaque with increasing protein but there was no significant difference between the two mixtures. A small shift towards larger size and significantly decreased negative zeta potential with increasing inulin addition (1-5%) were observed for both mixtures. WP/PWP and inulin mixtures exhibited a shear thinning behavior. Transition temperature of whey protein increased with inulin addition. WP/PWP and inulin mixtures were induced into cold-set gels by calcium and the gels were analyzed for hardness. Hardness of WP/PWP and inulin gels increased with the increasing inulin. Results indicated that interactions between whey protein and inulin had impact on the gelation properties of whey protein regardless the way inulin added.
