This proposal is focused on the development of edible films and coatings that work as carriers of probiotic bacteria, protecting them against degradation on processing, storage, and passage through the stomach, but releasing them at the intestine. The films will be based on alginate, due to its polyanionic character, which favors probiotic immobilization at the low pH of the stomach and r…
The growing world population and the changes in dietary behavior (promoted by the increasing concerns on food-health relationships) have caused an increasing fruit consumption. Since most fruits are highly perishable (especially when in tropical conditions), a high proportion of them is processed into products with an extended shelf life, generating a great amount of waste and by-products…
