Comparison of the Kinetics of Intestinal Colonization by Associating 5 Probiotic Bacteria Assumed Either in a Microencapsulated or in a Traditional, Uncoated Form

The microencapsulation technique used in this study is a valid approach aimed to significantly improve the survival of strains during gastroduodenal transit, thus enhancing their probiotic value and allowing the use of a 5 times lower amount.
