“Mushroom spaceship” to escort probiotics

Probiotics are fragile during food processing. Our technology protects probiotics against damage from heat or pressure and enables different types of probiotics to be included in snacks, hot drinks and pet food to provide health benefits.

• Fungal wall materials, not only protect probiotics inside the microcapsules, but also precisely promote Akkermansia richness in gut, which can repair gut barrier integrity, and reduce inflamation, metabolic disorders, also body weight.
• Utilizing biochemical methods to precisely guide living mushroom cells growing in certain patterns and tracks, which forms a micro-cocoon-like structure outside the probiotics. The living cells will be induced to harden as walls of spores.
• The natural tube-like structure of mushroom cells could act as insulator and buffer. Thus, the microcapsules of probiotics would survive in unfavorable conditions, under high-temperature or high-pressure.

• The technology could empower different kinds of probiotics sustaining in gut microbiome to deliver the benefits.
