Probiotic microorganism(s)

Encapsulation Method(s)

Main Outcome(s)

Reference

Acerola

B. longum 51A

Spray-drying/Cellulose acetate phthalate and maltodextrin

Higher protection for B. longum 51A viability

(Costa et al. 2022)

Acerola and ciriguela

L. rhamnosus, L. casei, and L. plantarum

Spray drying/maltodextrin

Spray drying resulted in a reduction of 2 decimal logarithm units in the number of viable cells

(Souza et al. 2022)

Apple

L. rhamnosus GG

Ionic gelation/Chitosan-alginate with/without inulin

4.5-fold higher survival after 90 days with inulin having a positive effect

(Gandomi et al. 2016)

Apple

L. gasseri

Emulsification and ionic gelation

The encapsulation method protected L. gasseri under simulated gastric and intestinal conditions

(Varela-Pérez et al. 2022)

Grape, Orange, Pineapple

B. adolescentis (ATCC 15703)

Water-in-oil emulsion/Pea protein-alginate mixture

Survived in pineapple and grape juice, not in orange juice

(Wang et al. 2015)

Longan

L. acidophilus LA5

Ionic gelation/Alginate

↑ lactic acid, acetate, propionate, and butyrate

(Chaikham & Apichartsrangkoon 2014)

Longan, Maoberry, Melon, Mulberry

L. casei 01, L. acidophilus LA5, B. lactis Bb-12

Ionic gelation/Alginate-Thai herbal extracts

↑stability after refrigerated storage

(Chaikham 2015)

Orange

L. casei 431, L. acidophilus La-5

Ionic gelation/Alginate

Bacteria at 8 log CFU/mL after 4 weeks

(Tootoonchi et al. 2015)

Orange-carrot

Arctium lappa L

Spray-drying and freeze-drying/maltodextrin, and gum arabic

↑probiotic viability

(Esmaeili et al. 2022)

Orange, Pomegranate

B. longum (NCIMB 8809), B. breve (NCIMB 8807)

Freeze drying/Bacterial poly-γ-glutamic acid

6.5 to 6.5 log CFU/mL after 39 days, lower the death rate of encapsulated probiotics

(Bhat et al. 2015)

Peach

L. acidophilus (NRRL-B-4495), L. reuteri (NRRL-B-14171)

Ionic gelation/Alginate or alginate-chitosan

Alginate-chitosan provided better protection

(García-Ceja et al. 2015)

Pineapple

B. longum

Ionic gelation/oligosaccharides mixture

Better survival and more acceptable to consumers

(Phoem et al. 2015)

Pineapple

L. acidophilus, L. plantarum

Emulsion/chitosan and tragacanth gum

Encapsulated with chitosan and tragacanth showed the highest overall palatability

(Sabbaghpour et al. 2021)

Sugarcane

B. animalis subsp. lactis BLC1

Coacervation

Microcapsules protected BLC1 and maintained high contents of phenolic and proanthocyanidin compounds

(Holkem et al. 2020)
