Double Emulsion Microencapsulation System for <i>Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG</i> Using Pea Protein and Cellulose Nanocrystals.

ABSTRACT: Microencapsulation using a double emulsion system can improve the viability of probiotic cells during storage and digestion. In this study, a double emulsion system W_C/O/W_F was designed to microencapsulate Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG using pea protein (PP) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) at various proportions, and the effect of their proportions on the stability and efficacy of the encapsulation system was studied. The double emulsions were prepared by a two-step emulsification process: the internal aqueous phase containing probiotic strain (W_C) was homogenized into the oil phase (O), which was then homogenized into the external aqueous phase (W_F) containing 15% wall materials with varying proportions of PP and CNCs [F1 (100:0), F2 (96:4
