Abstract Saccharomyces boulardii, as a probiotic yeast, had been commonly used in food, medicine and feed to treat diarrhea in humans or livestock. However, there are few researches focusing on the preparation of its freeze-drying S.boulardii powder. In this study, the effect of carbohydrates (glucose, sucrose, maltose, fructose, lactose, mannose and trehalose), prebiotics (isomalto-oligosaccharide, xylo-oligosaccharide, raffinose, stachyose, inulin, galacto-oligosaccharide and fructo-oligosaccharide) and salts (NaHCO3, MgSO4, sodium glutamate, sodium ascorbate, and phosphate buffer) on the freeze-dried survival of S. boulardii were investigated to screen the cryoprotectant by using single factor experiments. As the result, trehalose and XOS had better protective effect, the survival rate was 23.72% and 20.70% respectively, the number of viable cells reached 0.91×1010 CFU/g and 0.85×1010 CFU/g respectively; the addition amount of NaHCO3 was 0.3%, the freeze-dried survival rate reached the maximum value of 12.92%. The phosphate buffer additive amount and the bacterial sludge weight were 0.8:1, the freeze-dried survival rate reached a maximum of 14.14%, the freeze-dried survival rate of sodium glutamate, sodium ascorbate and MgSO4 groups was increasing, reaching a maximum of 20.26%, 16.47% and 6.29% when the addition amount was 2%, 10%, 0.5%.

In the present study, the experiments were investigated with the effecting of NaHCO3, KH2PO4, K2HPO4 and Sodium ascorbate on survival of Lactobacillus acidophilus during freeze-drying. Designing different concentrations of protective agents, respectively. The survival ratio of Lactobacillus acidophilus and the number of viable cells will be measured after completing drying. In the process, there were major differences between the different concentrations of protective agents in survival during freeze-drying. As the result, the protective agent was playing a key factor affecting the survival of Lactobacillus acidophilus. At present in the study of the experiments, the highest survival rate was NaHCO3 as the protective agent, and when the protective agent as K2HPO4 the number of viable cells was largest.

Background: Saccharomyces boulardii is a probiotic clinically effective in the prevention and treatment of antibiotic induced diarrhea in both children and adults, Clostridium difficile infections, inflammatory bowel disease, and other gastrointestinal disorders. However, the microorganisms need to survive the gastrointestinal transit and arrive to their action site alive in order to exert their beneficial effects. Microencapsulation is an alternative to improve the viability of probiotic in foods which can also survive in the gastrointestinal conditions. Freeze--drying is a method of dehydration that does not affect nutrients and bioactive compounds, such as probiotics contained in foods. All of them will increase the survival rate of S. boulardii.Purpose of this study: This study focused on formulae freeze-dried yogurt containing inulin, vegetable palm oil, and S. boulardii, both as free cells and in microencapsulated form. Also, theeffect of ampicillin associated S. boulardii.Methods: Yogurts were given to an “in vivo” digestion process, using male Wistar rats. The survival of S. boulardii was subsequently evaluated in colon and feces. For this study, six treatments of four of rats were used: i) control rats ii) rats fed with yogurt containing S. boulardii as free cells, iii) rats fed with yogurt containing S. boulardii in micro-encapsulated form, iv) control rats fed with penicillin, v) rats fed with ampicillin plus yogurt containing S. boulardii as free cells, and vi) rats fed with penicillin plus yogurt containing S. boulardii in micro-encapsulated form.Results: The study demonstrated it was feasible to freeze-dry the S. boulardii and incorporate it into a yogurt made with skim milk, inulin, and unsaturated vegetable oil. The freeze-drying process not affected the survival of the S. boulardii (p<0.05). Microencapsulation increased the survival of S. boulardii on 1.77-Log CFU/g, and the presence of S. boulardii was only detected in colon and feces of those rats which ingested ampicillin, regardless to the formula contained the probiotic.Conclusion: This study demonstrated that freeze-drying maintains the survival of S. boulardii in the evaluated foods and that micro-encapsulation increases the survival of this probiotic. Furthermore, S. boulardii was installed in the gastrointestinal tract when the microbial flora was  damaged by ampicillin.Keywords: Yogurt, probiotic, Saccharomyces boulardii, micro-encapsulation, freeze-drying.

Abstract Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus is widely used in yogurt as a starter. The freeze-drying process may cause bacteria death. In the present work, the effect of three solutes (NaCl, sorbitol, and sodium glutamate) in MRS on viability of L.bulgaricus during freeze-drying was investigated. The optimal combination of adequate solutes was chosen by Box-Behnken Design. The survival rate and viable counts in freeze-dried powder, as well as the viable counts in broth, were used as responses. The results revealed that the optimum combination of solutes in MRS broth were 0.50% NaCl, 0.19% sorbitol, and 0.06% sodium glutamate. Under these optimal conditions, the survival rate was 53.2±0.14%, the viable counts in freeze-dried powder was 8.51±0.23×1010 CFU/g, and the viable counts in broth was 6.05±0.19 ×108 CFU/mL, which were increased by 17.18%, 15.94%, and 17.31%, respectively, compared to the control. This research demonstrated the possibility of viability improvement of L.bulgaricus, which may provide a feasible reference for industrial development.

In a new probiotic food, besides adequate physicochemical properties, it is necessary to ensure a minimum probiotic content after processing, storage, and throughout gastrointestinal (GI) digestion. The aim of this work was to study the effect of hot air drying/freeze drying processes, encapsulation, and storage on the probiotic survival and in vitro digestion resistance of Lactobacillus salivarius spp. salivarius included into an apple matrix. The physicochemical properties of the food products developed were also evaluated. Although freeze drying processing provided samples with better texture and color, the probiotic content and its resistance to gastrointestinal digestion and storage were higher in hot air dried samples. Non-encapsulated microorganisms in hot air dried apples showed a 79.7% of survival rate versus 40% of the other samples after 28 days of storage. The resistance of encapsulated microorganisms to in vitro digestion was significantly higher (p ≤ 0.05) in hot air dried samples, showing survival rates of 50–89% at the last stage of digestion depending on storage time. In freeze dried samples, encapsulated microorganisms showed a survival rate of 16–47% at the end of digestion. The different characteristics of the food matrix after both processes had a significant effect on the probiotic survival after the GI digestion. Documented physiological and molecular mechanisms involved in the stress response of probiotic cells would explain these results.

SummaryUnpurified and purified smallpox vaccines were prepared from calf dermal pulp, or chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) of hen eggs infected with vaccinia virus, and freeze-dried. The protective effect of various suspending media was investigated both in the course of the freeze-drying and in the period of subsequent storage of the dried product at different temperatures, including 100° C.Single media consisting of either sodium glutamate or peptone were effective in the preservation of both unpurified and purified vaccines prepared from calf dermal pulp or CAM. It was shown that there was an optimal concentration of sodium glutamate for the preservation of the vaccine preparations, especially of the purified vaccine.Combined media, consisting of soluble starch, polyvinylpyrrolidone or sodium carboxymethyl cellulose with sodium glutamate, were effective with the purified vaccine when the concentration of sodium glutamate exceeded the optimum necessary for preservation.
