This study had the following key objectives: (1) To compare
the survival and fermentation activity of L. casei as a model
probiotic bacteria in freeze and spray dried co-microcapsules
(WPI-P-O-GA) as a function of storage temperature and time,
in comparison with a control, of freeze and spray dried microcapsules
containing only L. casei (WPI-P-GA). (2) To compare
the oxidative stability of omega-3 rich tuna oil in the comicrocapsules
(WPI-P-O-GA) as a function of storage
temperature and time, in comparison with a control of freeze
and spray dried microcapsules containing only tuna oil
(WPI-O-GA).
