오징어 간유 미세캡슐화 분말을 HPMC-FCC, zein-DP로 코팅하여 유동층 코팅 특성을 살펴본 결과, 유동층 코팅 효율은 HPMC-FCC, zein-DP 모두 90%의 효율을 나타내었다. 겉보기 밀도는 zein-DP 코팅분말이 0.6 g/mL로 높게 나타나 코팅 분말의 비중이 커져 흐름성이 개선되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 인공위액과 인공장액에 대한 용해성을 살펴본 결과, HPMC-FCC는 각각 59.9%와 0%를 나타내었고 zein-DP는 각각 0%와 31.0%를 나타내어 코팅재료에 따라 용해성을 조절할 수 있었다. 저장 안정성은 zein-DP나 HPMC-FCC로 코팅한 분말이 미세캡슐화 분말보다 높은 PUFA/SFA 잔존율을 보여, 유동층 코팅 기술이 유지식품의 안정성을 확보할 수 있는 새로운 기술이 될 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Bifidobacteria are probiotic organisms that provide both flavor and health benefits when incorporated as live cultures into commercial dairy products. Because bifidobacteria are very sensitive to environmental conditions (acids, temperature, oxygen, bile salts, the presence of other cultures, etc.), their viability in human gastrointestinal tract is limited. The microencapsulation of bifidobacteria is a process to protect them against harsh environmental conditions, thereby increasing their viability while passing through human gastrointestinal tract. To confirm the survival rate of microencapsulated Bifidobacterium breve CBG-C2 in milk, their survival rate was compared with several kinds of free bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria in commercial yogurt products under simulated gastric and small intestinal conditions. Double-microencapsulation of the bacteria was employed to increase the survival rate during digestion. The outer layer was covered with starch and gelatin to endure gastric conditions, and the inner layer was composed of a hard oil for the upper small intestinal regions. Almost all microencapsulted bifidobacteria in the milk survived longer than the free bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria in the commericial yogurt products under the simulated gastric conditions. Numbers of surviving free bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria in the commercial products were significantly reduced, however, the viability of the microencapsulated bificobacteria in the milk remained quite stable under gastric and small intestine conditions over 3$\sim$6 hrs. Thus double-microencapsualtion of bifidobacteria in milk is a promising method for improving the survival of bifidobacteria during the digestive process.
