The Microcapsule Based on the Maillard Reaction Product from Spray Drying to Deliver Probiotics

Abstract

The physical fitness improving capacity of probiotics has been proved to be valid but easy to degrade when exposed to the environment of processing, storage, and human gastrointestinal tract. A series of research have shown that the microcapsule embedding technology or coating technology with certain Maillard Reaction products (MRPs) as the wall material has the potential to improve the delivery condition, protect the probiotic supplements and helping the ideal expressing of probiotics in the gastrointestinal environment. This article explores the tactics that enforce microencapsulation of probiotics with microcapsule, which uses MRPs as wall material. The action mechanism of probiotics in microcapsule and the potential embedding techniques to develop the probiotic delivery systems will also be covered in this essay. However, the action mechanism of microcapsule-probiotic system taken place in vivo tract is still hot topic considering the studies performed through vitro strategy are not forcible enough considering the exogenous factors that cannot be tested.
