Nowadays, there is an increasing tendency toward using probiotics in different food systems. In this work, probiotic survival, texture features and sensory properties of synbiotic chewing gum containing encapsulated probiotic organisms (Lactobacillus reuteri) were studied. Probiotics were encapsulated using alginate, inulin (0-1%) and lecithin (0-1%). Storage trials showed that, unlike control, the viability of the probiotic in encapsulated samples was retained after 21 days. Probiotic survival was increased by increasing of inulin and lecithin in cell walls. Samples containing encapsulated organisms had different texture parameters compared to the control. Sensory panelists liked the chewing gum with encapsulated lactobacilli. Thus, chewing gum has been shown to be an excellent food for delivery of probiotic lactobacilli. Principal component analysis (PCA) allowed discriminating among probiotics survival and chewing gum specialties. Partial least squares regression (PLSR) models were applied to find out the relationships between sensory and instrumental data.

Global nonprofit biological resource center (BRC) and research organization that provides biological products, technical services and educational programs to private industry, government and academic organizations. Its mission is to acquire, authenticate, preserve, develop and distribute biological materials, information, technology, intellectual property and standards for the advancement and application of scientific knowledge. The primary purpose of ATCC is to use its resources and experience as a BRC to become the world leader in standard biological reference materials management, intellectual property resource management and translational research as applied to biomaterial development, standardization and certification. ATCC characterizes cell lines, bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa, as well as develops and evaluates assays and techniques for validating research resources and preserving and distributing biological materials to the public and private sector research communities.
