Abstract
The survival of L. acidophilus CSCC 2409 under in vitro gastric condition is shown in Figure 1. At pH 6.5 (control) levels of L. acidophilus CSCC 2409 remained constant for both free and encapsulated conditions over the 3 h incubation period at 37[degrees]C. At pH 2 there was a 2-log decrease in encapsulated cell number after 3 h incubation, compared to the free cells in which there was a 4-log decrease of viable cells under similar conditions.
