Microencapsulation of probiotics with Alg.
| Encapsulated Strain | Application | Remarks | References |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains | -- | Encapsulation yield was at least 60% (100% for some strains) and yeasts survived in beads for 30 days at 4 °C. | [25] |
| Saccharomyces boulardii and Enterococcus faecium | -- | Higher survival rate of S. burrici and E. faecium (increased by 25% and 40%) at high temperature and high humidity. Higher survival rate in the SGF 1 (increased by 60% and 25%) and SIF 2 (increased by 15% and 20%). |

| Fruit-derived lactic acid bacteria (LAB) | Reduce the anthracnose lesion development in guava and mango. | Sodium alginate coatings loaded with laboratory strains had higher ALDR% (anthracnose lesion diameter reduction) values in guava and mango. | [41] |
| Bacillus licheniformis | -- | Cell survival rate for 30 days at 4 °C was 55.58 ± 2.35%. Higher survival rate of alginate-encapsulated bacteria (100.0 ± 7.72%, 62.71 ± 4.81%, 80.79 ± 7.40%, and 51.29 ± 0.42%, respectively) in the simulated shrimp digestive tract (stomach, hepatopancreas, and midgut or hindgut). |

1 SGF is short for “simulated gastric fluid”. 2 SIF is short for “simulated intestinal fluid”.
