Zusammenfassung: | The efficacy in the use of probiotics is compromised due to their lack of survivability in gastric conditions (pH 1.5-3), leading to a large reduction in viable probiotic cells. The present disclosure describes cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) modified with ferulic acid (FA) and shellac (SH) to produce two types of new coating materials, which are environment friendly and harmless to humans. These coating materials were developed and utilized to formulate Pickering emulsions (W1/O/W2 and W/O) for probiotic encapsulation. Based on their pKa values, greater than pKa, carboxyl groups from the CNCFA and CNCSH based Pickering emulsions were deprotonated, inducing phase separation and allow yeast releasing. This system could be further investigated for functionalized food-based applications to deliver active substances, such as probiotics, at high pH. Such delivery systems can be applied to human, animal, and aquatic systems. |
