Phage encapsulation. A FJ1viability in SGF. Effect of the gastric fluid (pH 3.0) in non-encapsulated and encapsulated phage 1 h after incubation at 37 °C. Error bars represent standard deviation for three experiments. Statistical significance of differences between free and encapsulated groups was determined using the t test (*** p-value < 0.001); B Release of alginate/CaCO3 encapsulated FJ1 in SIF. Percentage of phage release in the intestinal fluid (pH 6.5). The phage was quantified 0 min, 30 min and 60 min after incubation at 37 °C, and compared with the total phage provided in the capsules (Phage release (%) = Ctime point/Ctotal)*100). Errors bars represent standard deviation for at least three experiments.
