Probiotic strain stability

Formulation, encapsulation and low-water-activity matrix engineering (gummy sugar/starch, oil-based chocolate) that keeps a live probiotic above its labelled CFU count through the product's shelf life by controlling water activity, oxygen and temperature.

Where it's used

Bio-probiotic confectionery
Gummies, chewable tablets and chocolate carrying a defined colony-forming-unit dose of live probiotic strains — the supplement format that removes pill fatigue and swallowing barriers while remaining shelf-stable, now the fastest-growing segment of the digestive-health aisle.
