Several studies have attributed health benefits to
probiotics, as the contribution to intestinal microflora
activity (Khan et al. 2013). However, adverse conditions
in gastrointestinal transit can reduce the viability of
probiotics as Lactobacillus plantarum.
Acrycoat S100 is a co-polymer from methacrylic acid
and methyl methacrylate, water insoluble and soluble in
pH ≥ 7. Therefore, microencapsulation of probiotic in
Acrycoat S100 could allow microorganism protection
until it reach the intestine. The objective of this study
was to determine the encapsulation efficiency of L.
plantarum microencapsulated in Acrycoat S100.
