Influence of calcium cation on probiotic microencapsulation

In recent years, the use of probiotics in the field of health is increasing for a multitude of benefits. These microorganisms are very sensitive to environmental conditions, so we propose the design of microparticles that protect them, establishing the appropriate concentration of calcium cation in order to ensure maximum viability of the probiotic microorganism Lactobacillus gasseri CECT5714.
