Formulation and Characterization of Gelatin-Based Hydrogels for the Encapsulation of <i>Kluyveromyces lactis</i>—Applications in Packed-Bed Reactors and Probiotics Delivery in Humans

Formulation and Characterization of Gelatin-Based Hydrogels for the Encapsulation of <i>Kluyveromyces lactis</i>—Applications in Packed-Bed Reactors and Probiotics Delivery in Humans

One of the main issues when orally administering microorganism-based probiotics is the significant loss of bioactivity as they pass through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. To overcome these issues, here, we propose to encapsulate the probiotic yeast <i>Kluyveromyces lactis</i> on chemic...
