In vitro effects of pH, bile salts and enzymes on the release and viability of encapsulated Lactobacillus plantarum strains in a gastrointestinal tract model

A very simple in vitro model that reproduces the conditions in the stomach and small intestine was developed to monitor the release and the viability of bacteria encapsulated in alginate–whey protein beads. A single medium, based on phosphate buffered saline, was used as both simulated gastric fluid...
