Structure-Dependent Triglyceride Protection of Freeze-Dried Lactiplantibacillus plantarum: Storage Protection Window, Lipid Oxidation, and Stress Adaptation
Lipid-rich matrices can protect probiotics by limiting direct exposure to moisture, oxygen, and gastrointestinal stressors. However, triglycerides are chemically dynamic during storage, and differences in fatty acid structure and oxidation susceptibility may determine whether they exert protective or detrimental effect...
