This invention discloses a *
Lactobacillus plantarum* bacterial
powder, its preparation method, and its application. The
wall material of the bacterial
powder includes
resistant starch,
whey protein, and a heat protectant. The bacterial cells in the
powder are *
Lactobacillus plantarum* TH103. The
mass percentages of
resistant starch,
whey protein, and the heat protectant are 7-23%, with the total
mass percentage of
resistant starch and
whey protein being 3-15% and the
mass percentage of the heat protectant being 4-8%. The
viable count of the bacterial powder is (3.5-9.0) × 10⁻⁶. 9 The CFU / g and
moisture content are 5-7%. This invention uses resistant
starch and whey
protein as protective carriers, supplemented with heat-resistant
protective agents, to achieve the preparation of *
Lactobacillus plantarum* powder by
spray drying. The obtained *
Lactobacillus plantarum* powder has a
viable count and
moisture content that meet the relevant requirements for
probiotic foods, and has good powder properties. It can be directly brewed in powder form or applied to fermented foods such as yogurt.
