Table 2, also shows the results of the viability of microcapsules after sequential incubation in simulated gastric and intestinal juices.As shown in Table 2, free cell was very sensitive to this condition and the rate of reduction was significantly greater than that of microencapsulated cell (P < 0.05). Microencapsulated cells with alginate and co-encapsulated with all prebiotics survived more than free cells after sequential incubation in simulated gastric and intestinal juices.
