To
provide the
expected benefits of probiotic
products, a product must contain 108-109cfu/g of viable probiotic microorganism
until end of the shelf life.
Numerous methods have been developed to protect
probiotic microorganisms against adverse conditions. Studies on the issue show
that microencapsulation is one of the most
efficient methods for protecting the viability of probiotic microorganisms.
However, probiotic microorganisms are exposed adverse conditions such as high
temperature, dehydration, high osmolarity etc. during the microencapsulation process. These adverse conditions can be overcome in many
cases by using electrohydrodynamic atomization (EHDA), either electrospinning
or electrospraying. Recent studies have reported that the electrohydrodynamic atomization technique, which generates the
production of capsules (electrospray) or fibers (electrospining) under high
voltage, can be an alternative to other microencapsulation methods in terms of
protecting the viability of probiotic microorganisms. In this review, it is
aimed to give information about the basics of electrohydrodynamic atomization
technique and the possibilities of using electrospray method in microencapsulation
of probiotic microorganisms.
