The technology of encapsulation of Lactiplantibacillus Plantarum in a calcium alginate shell to produce microcapsules of various sizes

 The encapsulation of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum into sodium alginate was carried out by extrusion using the installation AI 0.35-1.5 (LLC "MZTA", Murom). By changing the speed of the dispersant drive microcapsules of various sizes are obtained: 805 ± 410, 725 ± 400, 547 ± 300, 304 ± 175 microns, respectively. The performance of the encapsulation technology, the average sizes of the hydrated and sublimated microcapsules obtained, and their morphological features are determined. The content of viable cells in microcapsules of various sizes has been studied.
