W₁/O/W₂ double emulsions based on sodium alginate internal gelation: A hierarchical strategy to enhance emulsion stability and probiotic viability.
The sensitivity of probiotics to environmental stress significantly restricts their widespread application. Here, a novel W₁/O/W₂ double emulsion was constructed via sodium alginate-mediated internal gelation, and its physicochemical properties and protective efficacy for Lactobacillus plantarum were evaluated.
