Examining the Effect of Freezing Temperatures on the Survival Rate of Micro-Encapsulated Probiotic <i>Lactobacillus acidophilus</i> LA5 Using the Flash Freeze-Drying (FFD) Strategy

This work proposes a novel drying method suitable for probiotic bacteria, called flash freeze-drying (FFD), which consists of a cyclic variation in pressure (up-down) in a very short time and is applied during primary drying. The effects of three FFD temperatures (−25 °C, −15 °C, and −3 °C) on the b...
