Encapsulation of Lactobacillus plantarum in casein-chitosan microparticles facilitates the arrival to the colon and develops an immunomodulatory effect
The current work describes the capability of casein-chitosan microparticles to encapsulate Lactobacillus plantarum (CECT 220 and WCFS1 strains) and evaluates their ability to target the distal areas of the gut and to stimulate the immune system. Microparticles were prepared by complex coacervation...

description | The current work describes the capability of casein-chitosan microparticles to encapsulate Lactobacillus plantarum
(CECT 220 and WCFS1 strains) and evaluates their ability to target the distal areas of the gut and to stimulate the
immune system. Microparticles were prepared by complex coacervation, between sodium caseinate and chitosan
in an aqueous suspension of the bacteria, and dried by spray-drying. In order to increase the survival rate of the
loaded bacteria, microparticles were cross-linked with one of the following cross-linkers: tripolyphosphate,
calcium salts or vanillin.
Overall, microparticles displayed a mean size of about 7.5 μm with a bacteria loading of about 11 Log CFU/g,
when cross-linked with vanillin (MP-LP-V). For conventional microparticles, the payload was 10.12 Log CFU/g.
The storage stability study at 25 ◦C/60% RH, MP-LP-V offered the highest degree of protection without signif-
icant modification of the payload in 260 days. Compared with control (aqueous suspension of bacteria), MP-LP-V
also displayed a significantly higher degree of protection against probiotic inactivation in simulated gastric and
intestinal fluids. In vivo results evidenced that microparticles, orally administered to rats, were able to reach the
distal ileum and colon in about 4 h post-administration. Additionally, the effect of the daily administration of
107 CFU/mouse of MP-LP-V, for 3 weeks, induced an immunomodulatory effect characterized by an important
enhancement of Th1 and Th17 responses. In conclusion, these microparticles seem to be a promising strategy for
increasing survival and efficacy of probiotics, allowing the formulation of cost-effective and more stable and
effective probiotic-based nutraceuticals. |
