Abstract

In order to improve the survival rates of Bifidobacteria, Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus casei after passing through the gastrointestinal tract, these strains were embedded in the microcapsules prepared by internal emulsification with konjac glucomannan (KGM) and sodium alginate. The optimal technological parameters for preparing the microcapsules were as follows: 3% ALG (w/w), 0.6% KGM (w/w), the volume ratio of water to oil was 1∶3, and the mass ratio of CaCO3 to ALG was 1∶3. Under this condition, the embedding rate reached (76.2±5.1)%. Moreover, the microcapsules not only improved the survival rate of probiotics in simulated gastric juice, but also enhanced their tolerances to bile salts. The results of serum biochemical parameters and histopathological observation showed that the material was not toxic to mice. After intragastric administration of KGM, the relative abundances of Lactobacillaceae sp. increased and Desulfovibrionaceace sp. decreased, which indicated that KGM could promote the growth of beneficial bacteria and inhibit harmful bacteria. This research expanded a new field for the application of KGM, and the results provide a reference for industrial production and application of compound probiotic microencapsulation.
