Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of probiotic product preparation, and particularly relates to a Pediococcus pentosaceus microcapsule and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Pediococcus pentosaceus belongs to the genus Pediococcus of the family Streptococcus. It is a Gram-positive bacterium and a lactic acid bacterium. Pediococcus pentosaceus has been approved as a safe strain in my country. It has beneficial functions such as inhibiting foodborne pathogens, regulating intestinal immune function, and lowering cholesterol. The International Dairy Federation (IDF) stipulates that the content of probiotics in food must reach at least 10 7 However, the survival rate of probiotics is affected by many factors, such as environmental stress during processing and storage, the low pH value of gastric acid, and the high bile salt environment. This significantly reduces the vitality of probiotics when they reach the intestine, thus limiting their effectiveness.

[0003] So far, in order to solve the challenges of poor environmental stability and low gastrointestinal activity of probiotics, people have proposed a variety of strategies to improve the tolerance of strains. Among them, microencapsulation can enhance the resistance of probiotics to adverse external environments such as temperature, pH, light, and oxygen, and is also beneficial to the long-term storage stability and tolerance of probiotics in the gastrointestinal environment. In addition, certain bioactive compounds, such as carbohydrates (such as prebiotics), proteins (such as milk protein and plant protein) and other substances (such as omega-3 fatty acids and curcumin), are used as protective or excipient ingredients co-encapsulated with probiotics. At present, prebiotics commonly used in such co-encapsulated microcapsules include fructooligosaccharides, inulin, and galacto-oligosaccharides. Manno-oligosaccharides are oligosaccharides composed of mannose units, which are connected by β-1,4 glycosidic bonds. They have the effect of promoting the growth of probiotics and have attracted widespread attention as a new type of prebiotics. Co-encapsulation with prebiotics has been shown to promote the bioactivity of host bacteria and help improve the survival of probiotics during storage and exposure to gastrointestinal conditions. To date, there have been no reports on the preparation of Pediococcus pentosaceus microcapsules based on mannooligosaccharides. Summary of the Invention
