Abstract
Encapsulation of Lactobacillus rhamnosus was performed using spray and freezedrying Maltodextrin and gum arabic were used in different combinations for spraydrying Values of 50 maltodextrin and 40 gum arabic gave best results Spraydrying was done at temperatures ranging from 110 to 150oC Survivability acid tolerance antibiotic sensitivity testing and total anthocyanin content and physical properties of moisture content water activity color analysis bulk density and tap density were analyzed The moisture content of encapsulated powders ranged from 651 to 772 wet basis and bulk density and tap density values ranged from 0334 to 0308 g/cm3 and 0350 to 0330 g/cm3 respectively Total anthocyanin contents were 1928 and 7264 mg/100 mL respectively for freeze and spraydried powders Freezedried probiotic pomegranate juice powder yielded best results with high survivability of Lactobacillus rhamnosus a high total anthocyanin content and other properties
