Dehydration and thermal inactivation of Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1: Comparing single droplet drying to spray and freeze drying

TLDR
It was demonstrated that viability loss during single droplet drying can be explained by the sum of dehydration and thermal inactivation and indicated that very high drying rates in laboratory scale spray drying could induce instant fixation of the cell suspensions in a vitrified matrix and thereby preventing dehydration inactivation.

Spray drying of probiotics and other food-grade bacteria: A review

TL;DR: This review highlights some key strategies to improve the viability and efficacy of probiotics spray-drying, such as the enhancement of bacterial resistance, improved protection of the drying medium and optimization ofThe drying process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drying techniques of probiotic bacteria as an important step towards the development of novel pharmabiotics.

TL;DR: The characteristics, but also the viability results obtained by the most relevant drying techniques in the probiotic industry are described to facilitate the deliberate choice of drying process and protection strategy for specific probiotic and pharmabiotic applications.

Co-encapsulation and characterisation of omega-3 fatty acids and probiotic bacteria in whey protein isolate–gum Arabic complex coacervates

TL;DR: Omega-3 fatty acids and probiotic bacteria were co-encapsulated in a single whey protein isolate (WPI)-gum Arabic (GA) complex coacervate microcapsule and the oxidative stability of tuna oil was significantly higher in spray dried co-capsules than in freeze dried ones.

Analysis of the Particle Formation Process of Structured Microparticles.

TL;DR: The early particle formation process for this system was controlled by the diffusion of cellulose acetate butyrate in the liquid phase, whereas later stages of the process were dominated by shell buckling and folding.

Interactions between formulation and spray drying conditions related to survival of Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the influence of formulation parameters on the survival of Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 after drying and found that low molecular weight carbohydrates (less than 2 kDa) with high glass transition temperatures provided the highest level of protection at both low (25 degrees C) and high (50 degrees C or higher) drying temperatures.

Complete genome sequence of Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1

TL;DR: The 3,308,274-bp sequence of the chromosome of Lactobacillus plantarum strain WCFS1, a single colony isolate of strain NCIMB8826 that was originally isolated from human saliva, has been determined, and contains 3,052 predicted protein-encoding genes, suggesting that these genes form a lifestyle adaptation region in the chromosome.

Mechanisms of plant desiccation tolerance.

TL;DR: Recent advances in the understanding of the mechanism of anhydrobiosis include the downregulation of metabolism, dehydration-induced partitioning of amphiphilic compounds into membranes and immobilization of the cytoplasm in a stable multicomponent glassy matrix.

Trehalose and sucrose protect both membranes and proteins in intact bacteria during drying.

TL;DR: Increased survival is attributed to the sugars' ability to lower the membrane phase transition temperature and to protect protein structure in the dry state and the role of membrane phase transitions in the survival of the organisms during drying and rehydration.

Recent advances in microencapsulation of probiotics for industrial applications and targeted delivery

TL;DR: This review focuses mainly on current knowledge and techniques used in the microencapsulation of probiotic microorganisms to enhance their viability during fermentation, processing and utilization in commercial products.

On the use of the Weibull model to describe thermal inactivation of microbial vegetative cells

TL;DR: In this article, the applicability of the Weibull model to describe thermal inactivation of microbial vegetative cells as an alternative for the classical Bigelow model of first-order kinetics; spores are excluded in this article because of the complications arising due to the activation of dormant spores.
