Table 3.

Antibacterial activity of CSP and the prepared microcapsules. Gentamicin is a positive control.

Sample	Bacterial strain MBC (mg/ml)
Sample	S. aureus	E. coli
CSP	0.53 ± 0.02^a	0.74 ± 0.03^a
CG	0.40 ± 0.02^b	0.66 ± 0.01^b
CG/G	0.36 ± 0.01^c	0.60 ± 0.02^c
G	0.42 ± 0.01^b	0.68 ± 0.02^b
Gentamicin	0.7 ± 0.31^d	1.1 ± 0.03^d

Values are provided as means ± SD (n = 4). Different letters in the same column are statistically different at (P < 0.01).

CSP, Chia 7-day sprout phenolic extract; CG, Chia gum-microencapsulate; CG/G, Chia gum-gelatin microencapsulate; G, gelatin-microencapsulate; MBC, minimum bactericidal concentration.
