Probiotics are an essential dietary supplement for intestinal flora balance, inhibition of pathogenic bacteria and immune regulation. However, probiotic inactivation during gastrointestinal transportation remains a big challenge oral administration. Hence, delivery systems (ODSs) based on polysaccharides have been constructed to protect probiotics from harsh environments. Cellulose, chitosan, alginate their derivates used form protective layer probiotics. This review summarizes the superiority application in forming layers Meanwhile, ODS processes including extrusion, emulsion spray drying also summarized. The preparation technique mechanism, microparticle formation process especially role serve overviewed. Lastly, need cell viability retention dehydration construction core-shell microparticles is emphasized this review.

Abstract Probiotics are highly regarded for their multiple functions, such as regulating gut health, enhancing the immune system, and preventing chronic diseases. However, stability in harsh environments targeted release remain significant challenges. Therefore, exploring effective protection delivery strategies to ensure of probiotics is critically important. Polysaccharides, known non‐toxicity, excellent biocompatibility, superior biodegradability, show broad prospects probiotic by forming physical barriers protect probiotics. Particularly, polysaccharide‐based gels (PBGs), with unique “spider‐web” like structure, capture probiotics, significantly efficacy. This review discusses common polysaccharides used PBG preparation, classification synthesis food applications, advantages PBGs systems. Despite potential, challenges inconsistent gel properties need improved remain. Future research should focus on developing novel materials higher biodegradability mechanical strength, optimizing physicochemical cross‐linking methods, well designing multilayered structures more precise control. Additionally, co‐delivery prebiotics, active ingredients, or multi‐strain systems could further enhance efficacy delivery.

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.
