Abstract: (100 Views)
This study aimed to formulate a functional isotonic sports drink based on whey permeate containing probiotics and whey peptides encapsulated by alginate. The effect of hydrolyzed whey production as a natural antioxidant and whey as a coating of microcapsules in the formulated drink was investigated. Encapsulation of probiotics and whey peptides helped to improve the mechanical properties of the capsule, fermentation activity and survival of probiotics during 28 days of storage. Alginate capsules coated with whey culture showed better encapsulation efficiency, sphericity factor and antioxidant composition before and after fermentation compared to uncoated capsules. Hydrolysis had a positive effect on the antioxidant properties and viability of probiotic bacteria during 28 days of storage. Formulated whey-based sport drink can be a natural and functional alternative to existing commercial drinks.
