Abstract

Objective: Probiotic microorganisms which constitute an important part of functional foods are living creatures that have been proven to benefit human health. However, most of the time they lose their vitality entirely or partly before reaching the human gastrointestinal system due to the various degenerative processes that they are exposed to during food production stages. Those who have been able to maintain their vitality are exposed to destructive bioprocesses in the digestive system. Conclusion: It is possible to provide the probiotic microorganisms to reach the target point by maintaining their vitality at an optimum level utilizing the microencapsulation method which we could consider as a technological packaging process. In this study, information is given about microencapsulation methods applied to probiotic microorganisms and the coating materials used.
