Encapsulation of probiotics and prebiotics for use in nutritional products for children
Šnajdarová, Karolína ; Němcová, Andrea (referee) ; Skoumalová, Petra (advisor)
The Diploma thesis deals with designing of probiotic dietary supplement for children with strains Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium breve and with prebiotics. Used prebiotics were Inulin, Chia fiber, Bamboo fiber, Chlorella + Spirulina and Yakon syrup. The theoretical part is focused on probiotics, prebiotics and their biological influence. In experimental part the possibilities of encapsulation into alginate particle and lyophilisation of probiotic cells were observed to find their good form to final nutritional product for children. Several types of probiotic with addition of prebiotics were tested in model conditions of gastrointestinal tract. It was found that addition of prebiotic highly increases viability of probiotic cells and their resistance to model conditions of gastrointestinal tract. In this case, the best prebiotic was found in Yakon syrup. The prebiotics were also characterised in terms of nutritional composition, amount of total and reducing sugars, oligosaccharides, proteins, lipids, polyphenols and chlorophyll were obtained. Finally, Chia fiber, Chlorella + Spirulina and Yakon syrup were chosen as prebiotics with best characterisation/properties. In conclusion, a dietary supplement with lyophilized alginate particles containing probiotic cells and with the most appropriate prebiotics were designed. Forms of the product were powder and gummy-bear.

Probiotics and prebiotics and their co-encapsulation
Šnajdarová, Karolína ; Bokrová, Jitka (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is focused on study of probiotic cultures and options of coencapsulation with specific substrates called prebiotics. Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium breve were used as encapsulated microorganisms. As the specific substrates inulin, psyllium, apple fiber and hemp fiber were tested. Prebiotics was added to probiotics both in untreated form and in hydrolyzed form. The stability and viability of the cells have been studied by microscopy for the period of 6 weeks. Particles were stored in the enviroment of 2.5% citric acid. As the best substrate for cell growth the hemp fiber was found. The hemp fiber exhibited the highest increase of cells count. During observation of long-term stability in the model digestive conditions, particles with hemp fiber were destroyed in instestinal juices. For that reason, particles with hemp fiber could be used in food supplements with targeted transport. The bachalor thesis is also focused on characterisation of prebiotics components. The highest amount of total sugars in the group of non-hydrolyzed prebiotics exhibited psyllium. The highest content of reducing sugars both in the groups of non-hydrolyzed and hydrolyzed prebiotic had hemp fiber. By the method of thin-layer chromatography was found out that the main components of hydrolyzed prebiotics are glucose and fructose. Further, some disaccharides and oligosaccharides were obtained by TLC analysis. For characterisation of prebiotics by HPLC the column Rezex exhibited better sensitivity. HPLC analysis confirmed that the main components of prebiotics are glucose and fructose, some more complex carbohydrates were found too.
