Microencapsulation is a process by which bioactive materials are coated with other protective materials or their mixtures (Huq, Khan, Khan, Riedl, & Lacroix, 2013). Microencapsulation protects the core material from environmental stresses such as oxygen, high acidity, and gastric conditions and can be used for passing through the stomach with little damaging effects (Huq et al., 2013). Protection of the microencapsulated core material, when passing through the stomach, could be increased using water insoluble wall materials or treatments after microencapsulation to decrease solubility. In recent years, many studies have been conducted on microencapsulation for the preservation of probiotic microorganisms during storage and food processing (Lapsiri et al., 2012). Proteins, polysaccharides, sugars and their combinations or some liquid food matrices can be used to encapsulate probiotics
