Article Abstract
Intelligent packaging with a pH indicator has been a hot research topic due to its extra active role compared with traditional ones. Considering the possible toxicity of synthetic pH sensitive pigments, natural pigments are promising alternative indicators. This work aimed to develop and characterize active and pH sensitive films based on psyllium seed gum (PSG) incorporated with free and microencapsulated mulberry pomace extracts (MPE). Compared with PSG control film, PSG-MPE films showed an increase in total phenolic content and DPPH scavenging activity, and decrease in surface hydrophobicity, lightness, and tensile strength. The molecular interactions between PSG and MPE were confirmed by thermal and microstructure analysis. Moreover, PSG-MPE films displayed wide color differences from red to blue at pH 2.0 - 12.0. PSG-based films containing 10% free and microencapsulated MPE demonstrated better overall performance and economy in packaging applications, which could be used as promising active and pH-sensitive food packaging materials.

Background And Aim: Probiotic viability remains a critical challenge during gastrointestinal (GI) transit, storage, and feed processing. Conventional encapsulation materials often fail under acidic and thermal stress. This study aimed to develop and characterize a novel, eco-friendly microencapsulation system using (FP) seed extract as a natural encapsulating matrix for (LP) WU2502, enhancing its functional resilience and storage stability.

The potential of phytogenic feed additives (PFAs) to modulate gut health has drawn much attention as natural alternatives to antibiotics in poultry production. These plant-derived compounds, such as polyphenols, alkaloids, flavonoids, and essential oils exhibit various bioactive properties that improve gut microbiota composition, support immune function, and improve nutrient absorption by influencing gut morphology and digestive enzyme activity. Their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties help maintain and improve overall poultry performance and lower the prevalence of diseases related to gut and intestinal integrity.

Unlabelled: In the prevention and control of animal diseases, synbiotics combine the principles of probiotics and prebiotics, which play crucial roles in reducing intestinal disorders, such as diarrhea and indigestion, enhancing immune function, and decreasing the incidence of respiratory diseases in livestock and poultry. Following the confirmation of the prebiotic activity of lentinan, this study aimed to use microencapsulation technology to prepare synbiotics composed of () and lentinan. The optimal preparation process for the synbiotic microcapsules was determined through single-factor, orthogonal, and response surface experiments.

Corn gluten meal and rice bran mixture (CRM) are major agricultural by-products of food processing. The nutritional quality of fermented CRM (FCRM) was enhanced through ultrasound-assisted fermentation with Aspergillus oryzae AOX and Lactobacillus helveticus LHS. Additionally, polydopamine/chitosan-gum Arabic/FCRM (P-C-FCRM) microcapsules were fabricated under ultrasonic conditions to enhance the stability of bioactive compounds.

The aim of this study was to enhance the stability and water solubility of ellagic acid (EA) from pomegranate peel by microencapsulation using various carriers, and to improve its biotransformation into urolithin A (Uro-A) and urolithin B (Uro-B) by a probiotic microorganism. The formulation of carrier materials, comprising maltodextrin, inulin, and gum Arabic, and the inlet air temperature of the spray-drying microencapsulation process were optimized to enhance the stability and water solubility of EA. In addition to the variable ratios of carrier materials, a fixed concentration of β-cyclodextrin (1.
