The present invention relates to a method of using
spray drying for preparing probiotics micro-capsules, belonging to the technical field of micro-organisms. According to the method, a
probiotic suspension or probiotics adsorbed in
porous starch is used as a core material,
gum arabic and
maltodextrin are used as a
wall material, and the probiotics micro-capsules are prepared through a
spray drying process. The method comprises the steps of: arabic gum and
maltodextrin at a ratio of 1:7 to 1:10 as the
wall material, at a concentration of 15 to 20% dissolved in deionized water, mixing uniformly with the
probiotic suspension or the probiotics adsorbed in
porous starch at
room temperature; and
spray drying under conditions of a inlet
air temperature being 130-150DEG C and a feeding rate being 12.50-15.50mL / min, wherein skim milk
powder is adopted as a heat-resistant protective agent in an amount of 1 to 3%, and
embedding rate of the probiotics is above 85% by using the method of the invention. The method has the advantages of being fast in
drying rate, short in time, low in material temperature, good in product dispersion and
solubility, simple in production process, stable in effect, long in
shelf life of products, and suitable for
continuous production.
