In recent decades, there has been a lot of interest in the development of probiotic incorporated functional foods.
It is because probiotic bacteria give various health advantages when ingested in sufficient quantities. However,
the stability and viability of probiotics in various food products that can be employed as carriers are restricted by
inherent food properties such as pH, acidity, packing, and storage needs of certain food types. Furthermore, the
acidic environment of the gastrointestinal tract has an effect on probiotic bacteria survival. As a result, microencapsulation
and other enrichment techniques have been used as probiotic carrier or targeted delivery systems.
Microencapsulation techniques such as freeze-drying, emulsion, extrusion, and others have been shown to be
promising for increasing the viability and bioactivity of probiotics; however, the use of high temperatures or
organic solvents limits their usage and also affects cell survival. In this review, we have discussed innovative
microencapsulation techniques for probiotics, such as electro-spraying and electro-spinning, as well as their
recent trends, technological developments, and future prospects. The findings of the studies are quite fascinating,
and they suggest in a new approach for the development of functional foods incorporating probiotics with
enhanced viability and stability.
