Article Citation - Scopus: 2Systematic Review of Emerging Trends in Soil-Based Probiotic(Malaysian Society of Soil Science, 2024) Khairul, S.R.; Leong, S.S.; Korel, F.; Lingoh, A.D.; Toh, S.C.Soil-based probiotics (SBPs) are microorganisms originating from soil that have the potential to significantly enhance soil fertility and plant health, similar to the benefits of conventional probiotics in human and animal health. While much is known about the role of SBPs in the animal’s gut, the specific mechanisms and long-term impacts of SBPs in soil ecosystems remain underexplored. This review systematically summarizes recent research on SBPs, with a focus on lactic acid bacteria (LAB), including Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, and their role in soil and plant ecosystems. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using major databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar, covering the past 20 years. Out of 90 initial studies, 30 were excluded for irrelevance, and a further 60 were omitted based on selection criteria, leaving only the most relevant studies for analysis. The review highlights the multifaceted applications of SBPs in agriculture, focusing on their ability to enrich soil microbiomes, promote plant growth, and suppress pathogens. Additionally, SBPs offer sustainable alternatives in livestock feed. A comparison between SBPs and traditional probiotics underscores the unique advantages of soil-derived strains in agricultural systems. As sustainable agriculture practices grow in importance, SBPs present a natural, eco-friendly approach to improving soil health and plant resilience. Continued research is vital to fully harness the potential of SBPs, contributing to long-term soil health, sustainable farming, and global food security. © 2024, Malaysian Society of Soil Science.

Microcapsules were analyzed for physicochemical characteristics including morphology, particle size, moisture content, water activity, dissolution time, and color properties. Results revealed that microcapsules were spherical in shape and obtained particle sizes between 5 and 160 µm, with an average size of around 50 µm. Blending pullulan with WP provided enhanced survival of probiotic bacteria during spray drying with a final viable cell number of 8.81 log CFU/g of microcapsule. Encapsulated probiotics were also found to have significantly (p ≤ 0.05) higher survived cell numbers compared to free probiotics under detrimental gastrointestinal conditions. Moreover, dissolution analysis suggested that protein-polysaccharide powdered microcapsules showed pH-sensitive dissolution properties in simulated gastric juice and simulated intestinal juice.Article Citation - WoS: 35Citation - Scopus: 41Protection of Lactobacillus Acidophilus Nrrl-B 4495 Under in Vitro Gastrointestinal Conditions With Whey Protein/Pullulan Microcapsules(Elsevier Ltd., 2015) Çabuk, Burcu; Tellioğlu Harsa, ŞebnemIn this research, whey protein/pullulan (WP/pullulan) microcapsules were developed in order to assess its protective effect on the viability of Lactobacillus acidophilus NRRL-B 4495 under in vitro gastrointestinal conditions. Results demonstrated that WP/pullulan microencapsulated cells exhibited significantly (p ≤ 0.05) higher resistance to simulated gastric acid and bile salt. Pullulan incorporation into protein wall matrix resulted in improved survival as compared to free cells after 3 h incubation in simulated gastric solution. Moreover WP/pullulan microcapsules were found to release over 70% of encapsulated L. acidophilus NRRL-B 4495 cells within 1 h. The effect of encapsulation during refrigerated storage was also studied. Free bacteria exhibited 3.96 log reduction while, WP/pullulan encapsulated bacteria showed 1.64 log reduction after 4 weeks of storage.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 15Improved Viability of Lactobacillus Acidophilus Nrrl-B 4495 During Freeze-Drying in Whey Protein-Pullulan Microcapsules(Informa Healthcare, 2015) Çabuk, Burcu; Tellioğlu Harsa, ŞebnemIn this research, pullulan was incorporated in protein-based encapsulation matrix in order to assess its cryoprotective effect on the viability of freeze-dried (FD) probiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus NRRL-B 4495. This study demonstrated that pullulan in encapsulation matrix resulted in a 90.4% survival rate as compared to 88.1% for whey protein (WPI) encapsulated cells. The protective effects of pullulan on the survival of FD-encapsulated cells in gastrointestinal conditions were compared. FD WPI-pullulan capsules retained higher survived cell numbers (7.10 log CFU/g) than those of FD WPI capsules (6.03 log CFU/g) after simulated gastric juice exposure. Additionally, use of pullulan resulted in an increased viability after bile exposure. FD-free bacteria exhibited 2.18 log CFU/g reduction, while FD WPI and FD WPI-pullulan encapsulated bacteria showed 0.95 and 0.49 log CFU/g reduction after 24 h exposure to bile solution, respectively. Morphology of the FD microcapsules was visualized by scanning electron microscopy. © 2015 Informa UK Ltd.
