    Most microorganismsthat are considered as probiotics have received much attention in recent scientific research, supporting their important rolein improving bowel function in both human and animal health. Probiotics have the ability to modulate the immune system of the host, compete for colonization with pathogenic microorganisms and improve digestion of food. One disadvantage in the use of probiotics in food processing is the low viability of probiotics that may be affected by environmental conditions including air, humidity and temperature. An alternative to avoid these effects is by developing protective conditions that ensure the viability and activity of these microorganisms during use and food application, ensuring they are released into the intestine where their action is required. Accordingly, this study aims to assess the influence of spray drying technique with maltodextrin and inulin on viability of a consortium of three types of probiotic bacteria widely used in the food industry.La mayor铆a de microorganismos considerados como probi贸ticos, tienen un papel importante en el mejoramiento de la funci贸n intestinal, tanto para la salud humana como animal. Gran parte de estos microorganismos probi贸ticos, son muy sensibles a condiciones ambientales como la humedad, la temperatura, la concentraci贸n de ox铆geno, las sales biliares, y el pH estomacal y, al ser procesados o almacenados como alimentos funcionales se puede ver afectada su viabilidad. Debido a esto, es necesario desarrollar condiciones protectoras quegaranticen la viabilidad y actividad de estos microorganismos cuando son adicionados y procesados en matrices alimentarias, y asegurar que sean liberados en el intestino donde se precisa su acci贸n. De acuerdo a lo anterior, el presente proyecto propone evaluar la influencia de la t茅cnica de secado por aspersi贸n con maltodextrina m谩s inulina sobre la viabilidad de un consorcio de tres tipos de bacterias probi贸ticas ampliamente utilizadas en la industria alimentaria

    The operating conditions of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production processes are among the factors that most influence yields. In this study, we evaluated PHB production synthesized by Bacillus megaterium LVN01. Batch and fed-batch cultures were used to produce PHB from residual glycerol. For this, dry cell weight (DCW) and PHB productivity were analyzed at a preliminary stage by central composite design using batch systems under different temperature, C/N ratio, and fermentation time conditions. The maximum PHB productivity occurred at 30.8 掳C, 44.9 mol mol-1, and 39.9 h. The same conditions were tested for studies in fed-batch culture. Fed-batch experiments were comparable to each other, where the DCW was around 1.9 g L-1, with PHB productivities of 29.5 mg L-1 h-1 and 35.6 mg L-1 h-1 for bioreactors of 5 L and 14 L, respectively. The PHB was characterized by NMR, FTIR, DSC, TGA, and DTG analyses.Las condiciones de operaci贸n de los procesos de polihidroxibutirato (PHB) se encuentran entre los factores que m谩s influyen en los rendimientos. En este estudio se evalu贸 la producci贸n de PHB sintetizado por Bacillus megaterium LVN01. Se implementaron cultivos en lotes y lotes alimentados para producir PHB, a partir de glicerol residual. Para esto, en una etapa preliminar, se analiz贸 el peso de las c茅lulas secas (PSC) y la productividad de PHB mediante un dise帽o central compuesto, utilizando sistemas de lotes bajo diferentes condiciones de temperatura, relaci贸n molar C/N y tiempo de incubaci贸n. La productividad m谩xima de PHB ocurri贸 a 30.8掳C, 44.9 mol mol-1 y 39.9 h. Las mismas condiciones se utilizaron para estudios en cultivos por lotes alimentados. Los experimentos en modo lote alimentado fueron comparables entre s铆, donde el PSC oscil贸 alrededor de 1.9 g L-1, con productividades de PHB de 29.5 mg L-1 h-1 y 35.6 mg L-1 h-1 para biorreactores de 5 L y 14 L, respectivamente. El PHB se caracteriz贸 mediante an谩lisis de RMN, FTIR, DSC, TGA y DT
