As a kind of intestinal flora regulator, probiotics show great potential in the treatment many diseases. However, orally delivered are often vulnerable to unfriendly gastrointestinal environments, resulting low survival rate and decreased therapeutic efficacy. Decorating or encapsulating with functional biomaterials has become facile yet useful strategy, can be given different functions by wearing armors. This review systematically discusses challenges faced oral research progress armored delivery systems. We focus on how various armors help overcome obstacles achieve efficient delivery. also introduce applications armor disease analyze future trends developing advanced probiotics-based therapies.

Transplantation of probiotics to the intestine can positively regulate gut microbiota, thereby promoting immune system and treating various diseases. However, harsh gastrointestinal environment short retention time in tract significantly limit bioavailability intestinal colonization probiotics. Herein, we present a double-layer polysaccharide hydrogel (DPH) form structure composed carboxymethyl cellulose (CMCL) supramolecular inner layer dialdehyde alginate (DAA) cross-linked chitosan (CMCS) outer layer. This allows DPH encapsulate deliver targeted manner within body. In stomach, cage is closed, absorbs surrounding liquids barrier protect from gastric fluids. intestine, opens disintegrates, releasing Thus, endows with excellent intestine-targeted delivery, improved oral bioavailability, enhanced tolerance, robust mucoadhesion capacity. The encapsulated exhibit almost unchanged bioactivity before release, as well delivery. particular, by 100.1 times higher 10.6 than free an animal model 48 h post-treatment. addition, remarkable ability survive be retained show vitro vivo competition pathogens. Notably, DAA-mediated dynamic crosslinking not only maintains overall integrity hydrogels but also controls release timing it expected that substances (probiotics, proteins, etc.) delivered specific sites means DPH, controlling covalent crosslinking.

Abstract Adequate intake of live probiotics is beneficial to human health and wellbeing because they can help treat or prevent a variety conditions. However, the viability reduced by harsh environments experience during passage through gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Consequently, oral delivery viable significant challenge. Probiotic encapsulation provides potential solution this problem. production methods used create conventional technologies often damage probiotics. Moreover, systems produced do not have required physicochemical attributes robustness for food applications. Single‐cell based on forming protective coating around single probiotic cell. These coatings may be biofilms biopolymer layers designed protect from environment, enhance their colonization, introduce additional functions. This article reviews factors affecting probiotics, analyses shortcomings existing technologies, highlights advantages single‐cell encapsulation. It also various approaches available including implementation characteristics produce. In addition, mechanisms which improve bioavailability benefits are described. benefits, limitations, safety issues technology applications in beverages analyzed. Finally, future directions challenges widespread adoption highlighted.
