New Pediococcus Study Findings Recently Were Reported by Researchers at Kurukshetra University (Chitosan Encapsulation of pediococcus Acidilactici Ncdc 252 Improved Its Survival In Simulated Gastro-intestinal Conditions).

Researchers at Kurukshetra University in Haryana, India have conducted a study on the encapsulation of Pediococcus acidilactici NCDC 252, a type of Gram-Positive Bacteria, using chitosan. The aim of the study was to enhance the survivability of the bacteria in simulated gastrointestinal conditions. The researchers found that chitosan encapsulation improved the survival of NCDC 252, with a survival rate of 59.6% in gastric conditions and 68.4% in intestinal conditions. This research suggests that chitosan encapsulation could be a viable method for improving the viability of probiotics during enteric delivery. [Extracted from the article]
