The invention belongs to the technical field of dairy
product processing, and discloses high-activity
probiotic yoghourt protected by double-layer microcapsules and a preparation method and application thereof, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) preparing single-layer microcapsules; (2) preparing a double-layer microcapsule; and (3) preparation of yoghourt: homogenizing, sterilizing and cooling the
raw milk (
raw milk), adding the double-layer microcapsules and the
leavening agent, and fermenting to obtain the yoghourt. The
viable count of the probiotics in the yoghurt obtained by the invention can still be maintained at 106 CFU / mL or above after being stored for 25 days, and the water-holding capacity, the
viscosity and the texture characteristics of the yoghurt are obviously superior to those of a
control sample without microcapsules. The microcapsule can effectively protect the probiotics in the
stomach environment, the release rate in the intestinal tract reaches up to 99%, and the
survival rate and storage stability of the probiotics are remarkably improved. After the microcapsule is added into the yoghourt, the activity and the overall quality of the probiotics in the yoghourt are remarkably improved through double-layer microcapsule embedding.
