Probiotic oral delivery is challenged by harsh gastrointestinal conditions and environmental stressors in the body. This study presents the construction of durable nanoshells composed of an Fe-phytic acid metal-organic complex around individual probiotic cells, providing exceptional cytoprotective properties, in single-cell nanoencapsulation. Nanoencapsulated maintains high viability under simulated gastric fluid and the antibiotic tetracycline. The Fe-phytic acid nanoshells provide an effective platform for improving the viability and functionality of probiotics in therapeutic and nutritional applications.

With the aim of publishing the first global repository of analytical data on phytate, data on moisture, phytate, zinc, iron and calcium were compiled.
