There is a growing interest in developing edible films made from natural biopolymers that are favored to enhance the quality of food packaging and meet the demand for sustainable food packaging solutions. This study involved creating a Gelatin-Chitosan (GC) edible film incorporating Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) as probiotics to benefit customers' health. Moreover, different concentration…
Apis mellifera or honey bee is the most crucial pollinator globally, providing 50% of global crop pollination. However, bee colony loss is increasing and one of the causes is American foulbrood disease (AFB), a disease that kills honey bee larva. Paenibacillus larvae, a gram positive bacteria is the causative agent of AFB, it can produce spores that are able to survive in extreme heat and c…
Recently, Pediococcus acidilactici has gained interest in research studies due to its potential probiotic properties. However, it has low survivability during digestion and short shelf life. Spray drying is widely used as a food preservation method, ensuring a stable and extended shelf-life of probiotics. At the same time, the use of spray drying is associated with several stresses, including h…
Pediococcus acidilactici has gained a lot of interest lately due to its ability as a potential probiotic strain. However, concerns regarding its viability and stability during consumption and storage lead to a solution to utilize spray dry as an encapsulation method for Pediococcus acidilactici. Yet, the utilization of spray drying could affect the cell viability and its functional probiotic pr…
Pediococcus acidilactici has gained research interest due to its potent probiotic characteristics. However, it has low survivability in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Thus, spray drying is commonly used to improve its survival. Although current studies obtained high spray drying encapsulation efficiency, further evaluation of its survival during GIT and viability during storage is no…
The increase in global seafood demand significantly affects marine ecosystems and results in limited seafood commodities or even reduced quality as the global human population increases. Aquaculture development has the potential to meet global demand by obtaining seafood commodities in a more sustainable approach. The firm focused on raising post-larvae Litopenaeus vannamei to a fully matur…
Bile salt hydrolase (BSH) is important to help bile salt deconjugation, converting bile salt into a more hydrophobic form which helps to alleviate cholesterol level in the body. BSH is a N-terminal nucleophile superfamily enzyme, and frequently found in lactic acid bacteria (LAB). Spray drying, as one of preservation methods, is often applied for commercial production, and known to reduce th…
While there is little dispute that probiotics and prebiotics, alone and together, have been proven to promote gastrointestinal health and proper immune function, the challenge faced by researchers is finding not only the right combinations, but also finding those that are fully compatible with the formulation, processing, packaging, and distribution of functional foods. The Handbook of Prebioti…
Presenting the work of international experts who discuss all aspects of probiotics and prebiotics, this volume reviews current scientific understanding and research being conducted in this area. The book examines the sources and production of probiotics and prebiotics. It explores their use in gastrointestinal disorders, infections, cancer prevention, allergies, asthma, and other disorders. It …
