Abstract
Probiotics Delivery
In article number 2400384, Gianluca Maria Farinola and co-workers present an envisaging way to exploit porous biosilica from marine microorganisms for probiotics delivery. This innovative bioorganic approach allows to treat microalgae shells as microcontainers for living probiotics. Then, the use of two natural polymers (Shellac from insects and Chitosan from crustaceans) proves effective to seal these biobased micro-pills, making them resistant to gastric passage till an almost complete “opening” in contact with intestinal tract. Sometimes it's all a pH matter!
期刊介绍:
Advanced Sustainable Systems, a part of the esteemed Advanced portfolio, serves as an interdisciplinary sustainability science journal. It focuses on impactful research in the advancement of sustainable, efficient, and less wasteful systems and technologies. Aligned with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, the journal bridges knowledge gaps between fundamental research, implementation, and policy-making. Covering diverse topics such as climate change, food sustainability, environmental science, renewable energy, water, urban development, and socio-economic challenges, it contributes to the understanding and promotion of sustainable systems.
