Polymeric carriers in probiotic delivery system

Probiotics are good microbes that have the potential to improve the health of host when administered in proper quantity. They help to prevent and treat gastro-intestinal problems, allergies, colon cancer, diabetes, inflammation and enhance immunity. However, the applications of probiotics are limite...

description Probiotics are good microbes that have the potential to improve the health of host when administered in proper quantity. They help to prevent and treat gastro-intestinal problems, allergies, colon cancer, diabetes, inflammation and enhance immunity. However, the applications of probiotics are limited because of their poor viability during the time of processing, storage as well as delivery in the gastro-intestine tract. So, in order to overcome these limitations of probiotics, probiotic delivery systems have received much attention. This review targeted the different types of polymers that are employed as a carrier system for probiotic delivery system because of their excellent properties including biodegradability, less toxicity and biocompatibility which helps to prolong the viability of strains of probiotic in harsh conditions of gut system of host.
