Abstract
Although dairy products are generally good matrices for the delivery of probiotics to humans and traditionally the most used, fruit juices are of growing interest, due to their pleasant taste profile and refreshing characteristics. However, the low survival rate of probiotics in fruit juices resulting from acid environment is of concern.In this study, carrot juice was inoculated with free probiotic cells of L. casei and symbiotic microparticles loaded with L. casei to compare the survival rate of the rpobiotic during fermentation and storage of the symbiotic beverages at 4oC for 6 weeks. The results showed that the survival rate of free probiotic cells in carrot juice was below the therapeutic level at the end of the test due to their sensitivity to the acidic conditions in the medium and need protection to maintain the viability during storage. Results also showed that adding of encapsulated L. casei in carrot juice as symbiotic chitosan-Ca-alginate might solve the problem. Regarding the sensory characteristics of the carrot juice with microparticles, non-significant changes of the textural quality due to the low particle size was observed. Therefore, carrot juice containing symbiotic microparticles may be a new functional product and the effect of particles on the consumers acceptance should be further studied.
