Conclusion
microencapsulation of lactic acid bacteria with alginate and chitosan coating offers an effective way of delivering viable bacterial cells to the colon and maintaining their survival during refrigerated storage.
Methods
The bacteriological and biochemical standard methods were used for identification and phenotypic characterization of isolated organism. To increase the stability of organism in the environment, we used microencapsulation technique using stabilizer polymers (Alginate and Chitosan).
Results
The isolated Lactobacillus spp. was able to ferment tested carbohydrates and grow at 10°C-50°C. Using microencapsulation, the stability and survival of this bacterium increased.
