Encapsulation system used to maintain the activity of probiotics

Abstract

This invention relates to an encapsulation system for maintaining the activity of probiotics, comprising a probiotic processing section, an encapsulation section, and a post-processing section. The encapsulation section is capable of encapsulating probiotics within a layered structure using different encapsulation techniques, thereby resisting the effects of harsh environments, effectively preventing the destruction of probiotic activity, stably maintaining probiotic activity, and achieving the effect of easy portability.

Claims

1. An encapsulation system for maintaining the activity of probiotics, comprising: a probiotic processing unit for receiving and culturing a probiotic to obtain a probiotic culture; an encapsulation unit disposed after the probiotic processing unit for receiving the probiotic culture, mixing the probiotic culture with an encapsulation material, and performing an encapsulation treatment to form a probiotic composition; and a post-processing unit disposed after the encapsulation unit for receiving the probiotic composition and performing a post-processing procedure on the probiotic composition to produce a probiotic product.

2. The encapsulation system for maintaining the activity of probiotics as described in claim 1, wherein, The probiotic processing unit further includes a culture unit and a filtration unit.

3. The encapsulation system for maintaining the activity of probiotics as described in claim 2, wherein, The filtration unit can remove unnecessary substances from the cultured product through centrifugation or filtration to obtain the probiotic culture.

4. The encapsulation system for maintaining the activity of probiotics as described in claim 2, wherein, The probiotic processing unit further includes a control unit connected to the culture unit for controlling the culture environment within the culture unit.

5. The encapsulation system for maintaining the activity of probiotics as described in claim 1, wherein, The embedding section further includes an embedding unit and a modulation unit.

6. The encapsulation system for maintaining the activity of probiotics as described in claim 1, wherein, The probiotic composition has a core and at least one protective layer, wherein the protective layers are sequentially stacked on the surface of the core.

7. The encapsulation system for maintaining the activity of probiotics as described in claim 1, wherein, The post-processing department further includes a packaging unit and a printing unit.
