  • This study using yogurt of food in order to increase the conservativeness and stability of lactobacillus, to be deliciously flavored and give it visual differential effect, were described regarding making the preparing method of double matrix capsulation in food industries. Our study group was especially made to soft and moisture cream using 5wt% of sucrose ester emulsifier as first capsulation. Double matrix capsulation was formed with the best stabilized bead type capsules when it blended 1:3 ratio of chitosan and alginate. The bead diameter size was about 2.5~4mm (mean diameter: 3mm). Activity of lactobacillus containing cream for depending on various pH variations showed that alkalinity ($pH=10.3{\pm}0.3$) condition was higher than acidity ($pH=4.3{\pm}0.3$) and neutrality ($pH=7.12{\pm}0.2$) conditions. After a month, it also was certified to the activity of lactobacillus in incubated at $37^{\circ}C$ in culture medium. As application of food industry, we developed the containing lactobacillus capsule and 5 colored kinds of double matrix capsulation in yogurt cream. As for above mentioned those results, one of tool to stabilize the living lactobacillus, doubled matrix capsulation greatly be expected to contribute to food industry. Furthermore, it can be expected to apply the drug delivery system (DDS) to active ingredients of stabilizing technologies at drug and cosmetic industries.

  • We tried to prepare encapsulated whole cell cyclodextrin glucanotransferase(CGTase) in order to produce glycosyl-xylitol using xylitol as glucosyl acceptor. The organic nitrogen source was more effective for the production of CGTase from Bacillus macerans IFO 3490 than the inorganic one. Most of the CGTase which had been produced during cultivation was excreted to the growth medium. B. macerans cells inocculated in the capsule failed to grow to the high cell density. Adsorbents such as activated charcoal, Sephadex and Amberite resins could not adsorb efficiently the CGTase from the broth solution. We obtained successfully the encapsulated whole cell CGTase by immobilizing the concentrated broth solution in the calcium alginate capsules. The encapsulated whole cell CGTase carried out the transglycosylation reaction which converts xylitol into glucosyl-xylitol using dextrin as glucosyl donor.

  • UCB-1 is the commercial rootstock of pistachio. Reproduction of this rootstock by tissue culture is limited by low levels of proliferation rate. Therefore, any compound that improves the proliferation rate and the quality of the shoots can be used in the process of commercial reproduction of this rootstock. Use of plant growth-promoting bacteria is one of the best ideas. Given the beneficial effects of nanoparticles in enhancement of the growth in plant tissue cultures, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of nanoencapsulation of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (using silica nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes) and their metabolites in improving UCB1 pistachio micropropagation. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with three replications. Before planting, treatments on the DKW medium were added. The results showed that the use of Pseudomonas fluorescens VUPF5 and Bacillus subtilis VRU1 nanocapsules significantly enhanced the root length and proliferation. The nanoformulation of the VUPF5 metabolite led to the highest root length (6.26 cm) and the largest shoot (3.34 cm). Inoculation of explants with the formulation of the metabolites (both bacterial strains) significantly elevated the average shoot length and the fresh weight of plant compared to the control. The explants were dried completely using both bacterial strains directly and with capsule coating after the three days.
