This invention discloses a
probiotic microcapsule and its preparation method, belonging to the field of microcapsule preparation technology. The preparation method includes the following steps: (1) dissolving
Sophora japonica extract in water, stirring, adding
sodium alginate, and stirring again to obtain a
wall material solution; (2) centrifuging and washing the activated probiotics, preparing a bacterial suspension, mixing it with the
wall material solution obtained in step (1), stirring, and obtaining a
wall material bacterial suspension; (3) adding the wall material bacterial suspension obtained in step (2) to a
calcium chloride solution and letting it stand, then adding the formed gel to a
chitosan solution, stirring, washing, and obtaining the final product. The preparation process of this invention is simple and convenient, and the raw materials are inexpensive and easy to obtain, which can effectively reduce the production cost of microcapsules, facilitate large-scale industrial production and application promotion, effectively improve the
biocompatibility, biodegradability,
mechanical strength and encapsulation rate of microcapsules, and enhance the storage stability and resistance to gastrointestinal fluid stress of microcapsules.
