Lipid probiotic carrier systems: NestleRecent Research Landscape

Probiotic viability and palatability degrade during high-heat processing, which is mitigated by using fat-based encapsulation and vegetable-derived sugar reduction. This ensures bioactive stability and flavor profile consistency in shelf-stable pet food.

What technical problems is Nestle addressing in Lipid probiotic carrier systems?

Probiotic thermal degradation during processing

(13)evidences

Inadequate sensory appeal and excessive sugar content in processed animal feed. Improving taste profiles without nutritional degradation increases animal consumption rates.

Choking and ingestion hazards

(4)evidences

Standard kibble shapes often fail to provide sufficient abrasive contact with teeth in small breeds. Optimizing surface area and fracture patterns through donut geometry ensures mechanical plaque removal during mastication.
