Abstract

Microencapsulation was tested for its protective role against oxygen toxicity in probiotic bacteria. Two strains of Bifidobacterium lactis and one strain of Lactobacillus acidophilus were encapsulated in calcium alginate and grown aerobically in reconstituted skim milk broth for 24 h. Counts of encapsulated cells in all three strains were one log higher than corresponding free cell counts.
