Question
2 Does anyone know how to dissolve the alginate in the microencapsulates? I am trying to encapsulate probiotics to add them to coffee in the form of microencapsulates, the problem is that the alginate does not dissolve and remains a very gelatinous consistency, how can I dissolve them or in what proportion should I add it. Besides EDTA and glycerol what else would work as a chelating agent since I also want to lyophilize them.
