Abstract
Description

[0002] Probiotics derived from breast milk and human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) S In the field of microsphere encapsulation, traditional preparation methods (such as emulsification and spray drying) have the following drawbacks:
[0003] 1) Uneven particle size: Traditional emulsification methods rely on mechanical shearing force, resulting in a wide distribution of microsphere size (e.g., 50-500um), which affects the accuracy of targeted release into the intestine.
[0004] 2) Insufficient protection against gastric acid: Single-layer coated microspheres (such as sodium alginate) are easily disintegrated in gastric acid (pH 1.5), resulting in a loss of more than 90% of viable bacteria.
[0005] 3) Complex process: Multi-layer coating requires step-by-step operation (such as gelling first and then coating with enteric material), which is time-consuming and results in poor batch consistency. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a nozzle for co-sealing breast milk probiotics and breast milk oligosaccharides. The nozzle structure, with a three-stage coaxial flow channel design and a diameter ratio of 1:2:4, ensures laminar flow stability.

[0013] A Y-shaped microfluidic chip is connected to the top of the core tube;
[0014] The bottom end of the outer tube is provided with a tapered end, and the cone angle of the tapered end is set in the range of 30-45°.
