    Abstract The objective of this research was to encapsulate probiotics by alginate hydrogel beads based on an in situ cultivation method and investigate the influences on the cell loading capacity, surface and internal structure of hydrogel beads and in vitro gastrointestinal digestion property of cells. Hydrogel beads were prepared by extrusion and cultured in MRS broth to allow probiotics to grow inside. Up to 10.34 ± 0.02 Log CFU/g of viable cell concentration was obtained after 24 h of in situ cultivation, which broke through the bottleneck of low viable cell counts in the traditional extrusion method. Morphology and rheological analyses showed that the structure of the eventually formed probiotic hydrogel beads can be loosed by the existence of hydrogen bond interaction with water molecules and the internal growth of probiotic microcolonies, while it can be tightened by the acids metabolized by the probiotic bacteria during cultivation. In vitro gastrointestinal digestion analysis showed that great improvement with only 1.09 Log CFU/g of loss in viable cells was found after the entire 6 h of digestion. In conclusion, the current study demonstrated that probiotic microcapsules fabricated by in situ cultivation method have the advantages of both high loading capacity of encapsulated viable cells and good protection during gastrointestinal digestion.

    Abstract The objective of this research was to encapsulate probiotic bacteria based on soy protein isolate (SPI) matrix using either coacervation, cross-linking modification or their combination, and investigate the influences on the survival of probiotic bacteria during spray drying, in vitro gastrointestinal digestion, heating, UV irradiation and storage. A probiotic isolate Lactobacillus plantarum 550 was spray dried in SPI solution combined with either pectin (PEC), transglutaminase (TGase) or their combination. High survival rate and low moisture content were obtained for all the samples. Microcapsules fabricated using either SPI-PEC coacervation or TGase induced cross-linking obtained well cell survival during gastric digestion, heat/UV treatment and storage, however, combination of these two modification methods generated microcapsules with lower cross-linking degree and loose package structure corresponding with significant negative effects to the cell viability during gastric digestion and storage. Among the formulations tested, SPI-PEC microparticles provided the best protection to the probiotic cells, as pectin own well thermal stability and digestion resistibility, could fill the cracks and voids existed in SPI matrix and form hydrogen bond to stabilize cell membrane during processing. In conclusion, the current study demonstrated that SPI based probiotic microcapsules with high structural density and cross-linking degree may provide better protection to adverse external environment.

    Abstract With the rise of probiotics fermentation in food industry, fermented foods have attracted worldwide attention. In this study, protective effects of Rosa roxburghii & edible fungus fermentation broth (REFB) on immune function and gut health in Cyclophosphamide induced immunosuppressed mice were investigated. Results showed that REFB could improve the immune organ index, and promote the proliferation and differentiation of splenic T lymphocytes. In addition, it attenuated intestinal mucosal damage and improved intestinal cellular immunity. REFB administration also up-regulated the expression of IL-4, INF-γ, TNF-α, T-bet and GATA-3 mRNA in small intestine. Furthermore, administration of REFB modulated gut microbiota composition and increased the relative abundance of beneficial genus, such as Bacteroides. It also increased the production of fecal short-chain fatty acids. These indicate that REFB has the potential to improve immunity, alleviate intestinal injury and regulate gut microbiota in immunosuppressed mice.

    Abstract The objective of this research was to investigate the in vitro gastrointestinal digestion and storage properties of Lactobacillus plantarum 550 encapsulated in soy protein isolate (SPI) and peach gum polysaccharide (PG) through spray drying. High survival rates (>8.1 Log CFU/g) were obtained for all encapsulation formulas containing PG. Combination of SPI and PG showed positive effects on both gastric resistance and storage stability of cells. Among the formulas tested, sample of SPI:PG = 3:1 showed the highest survival (7.88 ± 0.12 Log CFU/g), corresponding to the strongest electrostatic interaction between SPI and PG. With PG content increasing, the storage stability of probiotic was also enhanced, as PG could reduce the moisture content within microcapsules as well as scavenge free radicals generated during storage. In conclusion, the current study demonstrates that SPI combined with PG may provide effective protection to cells not only during spray drying, but also during storage and gastrointestinal digestion.

    Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease, with the characteristics of neurofibrillary tangle (NFT) and senile plaque (SP) formation. Although great progresses have been made in clinical trials based on relevant hypotheses, these studies are also accompanied by the emergence of toxic and side effects, and it is an urgent task to explore the underlying mechanisms for the benefits to prevent and treat AD. Herein, based on animal experiments and a few clinical trials, neuroinflammation in AD is characterized by long-term activation of pro-inflammatory microglia and the NOD-, LRR- and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasomes. Damaged signals from the periphery and within the brain continuously activate microglia, thus resulting in a constant source of inflammatory responses. The long-term chronic inflammatory response also exacerbates endoplasmic reticulum oxidative stress in microglia, which triggers microglia-dependent immune responses, ultimately leading to the occurrence and deterioration of AD. In this review, we systematically summarized and sorted out that exercise ameliorates AD by directly and indirectly regulating immune response of the central nervous system and promoting hippocampal neurogenesis to provide a new direction for exploring the neuroinflammation activity in AD.

    Abstract Lactobacillus (L.) casei NCU011054 isolated from infant feces has been proven to be a potential probiotic in vitro. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of L. casei NCU011054 on the immune response and gut microbiota in cyclophosphamide (CP)-induced immunosuppression mice. Results indicated that L. casei NCU011054 could increase the levels of mucin (Muc2) and tight junction proteins (ZO-1, occludin and claudin-1). Moreover, L. casei NCU011054 was found to upregulate TLRs/NF-κB pathway (TLR-2, TLR-4, TLR-6, p65 and NF-κB) and two transcription factors (T-bet and GATA-3) mRNA levels, and enhance the number of CD4
