Description
Summary:The rising popularity of functional food in the diet due to their possible health benefits has driven probiotic food innovation. This PhD study optimizes encapsulation for probiotic powder, develops oleogel-based filling cream, and explores possible ways of developing multi-millet-based probiotic biscuit. The optimized probiotic powder enhanced flowability, cell survival, and thermal stability. Inclusion of probiotics in biscuit filling cream found high cell viability under simulated gastro-intestinal conditions than those directly added to dough and baked.
