W/O/W emulsions with gelled aqueous and oil phases: Construction, characterization, and their effect on enhancing the stress resistance of Lactobacillus plantarum and Streptococcus thermophilus.
To overcome the poor stability and low probiotic survival associated with traditional delivery systems, this study systematically developed and compared water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) emulsions with different phase gelation strategies. Three emulsion types were constructed: oil-phase (O-W/O/W), external aqueous-phase (A...
