Abstract:
The aim beyond this work is the study of the effect of the co-encapsulation of Lactobacillus brevis
KBM2 with sodium alginate with multiple polymers such as flaxseed gum/extract and Pulicaria
dysentrica extract. The encapsulation was performed by the extrusion method; and the effectiveness was
evaluated via several steps. The results showed that the co-encapsulation with Alginate and Pulicaria
extract gave remarkable and promising numbers compared to the other polymers. This study confirms
the effectiveness of bacterial encapsulation in 2% sodium alginate- flaxseed and Pulicaria extract.
