From: The assessment of microencapsulated Lactobacillus plantarum survivability in rose petal jam and the changes in physicochemical, textural and sensorial characteristics of the product during storage

Figure 3

Changes in free and microencapsulated L. plantarum count (log CFU/g) during probiotic rose petal jam storage at 4 °C (A) and 25 °C (B). The total reduction value of the number of viable cells of L. plantarum after 90 days of storage at 4 °C (C) and 25 °C (D). Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (n = 3). In (A) and (B), lowercase letters above columns indicate significant difference (P ≤ 0.05) among different treatments for the same storage period and uppercase letters above columns indicate significant difference (P ≤ 0.05) among different storage period for each treatment. In (C) and (D), lowercase letters above columns indicate significant difference (P ≤ 0.05) among different treatments. Free indicates free (non-microencapsulated) L. plantarum; and AlAr shows L. plantarum microencapsulated with levels of 1.5 and 2% sodium alginate (Al) and 3.5 and 5% Arabic gum (Ar).
