Abstract
This study demonstrated the influences of ultrasound-assisted multilayer Pickering double emulsion capsules on the pasteurization and gastrointestinal digestive viability of probiotic (L. plantarum) strain liquid. Firstly, the role of ultrasonic homogenization on the morphology of W1/O/W2 double emulsions were studied. The double emulsion formed by ultrasonic intensity at 285 W had a single and narrow distribution with smallest droplet size. The double emulsion particles were then coated with chitosan(Chi), alginate (Alg), and CaCl2(Ca). The multilayer emulsion after pasteurization and gastrointestinal digestion both had the highest viability at 5 coating layers, but its particle size (108.65 μm) exceeded the limit of human oral sensory (80 μm). It could be noted that the deposition of 3–4 layers of coating had similar activity after pasteurization/GIT digestion. And droplets with 3 layers of coating were the minimum and most available formulation for encapsulated probiotics (L. plantarum). Hence, the results suggest that the use of ultrasound-assisted multilayer emulsions encapsulated with probiotics in granular food and pharmaceutical applications is a promising strategy.
