Probiotication of black grass jelly [Mesona chinensis (Benth.)] by encapsulated Lactobacillus plantarum Mar8 for a ready to drink (RTD) beverages
Main Article Content
Abstract
Lactobacillus plantarum is an importantly probiotic bacteria for intestinal microbiota. The use of encapsulated the probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum Mar 8 by agar, carrageenan, Arabic gum, konjac (Amorphophallus konjac K.Koch), and black jelly [Mesona chinensis (Benth.)] for its application for RTD packaged beverages product was investigated. The probiotic bacteria was prepared by cultivation, biomass collection by suspension, and encapsulation. The result showed that 2% of carrageenan was the best encapsulant for the probiotic based on its suitable elasticity of the black jelly for RTD use. The probiotic was maintained at 8-9 log cfu/ml. This result would be potential for the application of encapsulated probiotic for RTD jelly black beverages.
