The delivery of probiotics to different sites of action within the human body might help to prevent and treat several diseases. Here, we describe a microcapsule-based system for delivery of probiotic bacteria, as vegetative cells or spores, which promotes their prolonged survival and efficient revival, and successful colonisation of the target surface. This system is proposed for local delivery into periodontal pockets. Encapsulation of the probiotic bacteria was based on alginate crosslinking...

Polysaccharide-protein complex coacervates are amongst the leading pair of biopolymer systems that has been used over the past decades for encapsulation of numerous active ingredients. Complex coacervation of polysaccharides and proteins have received increasing research interest for the practical application in encapsulation industry since the pioneering work of complex coacervation by Bungenburg de Jong and co-workers on the system of gelatin-acacia, a protein- polysaccharide system. Because...

Highlights • Biomimetic synthesized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (B-MSNs) were used as carrier. • Famotidine (FMT) loaded B-MSN exhibited a little controlled release effect. • Control-release microcapsule of FMT loaded B-MSN controlled FMT release for 24 h. • Stomach adhesion was enhanced by control-release microcapsule of FMT loaded B-MSN More
