Do Probiotics Need Refrigeration? What is Microencapsulation?

Lactic acid bacteria require very strict fermentation conditions—factors such as temperature, pH, and oxygen concentration all significantly influence their growth. Traditionally, fermentation is carried out at 30–38°C for 8–24 hours.

Without specialized microencapsulation technology, probiotics stored at room temperature may continue to grow, age, or even lose viability. This deterioration directly impacts product quality and stability.

Through advanced encapsulation processes, probiotics can be protected against environmental stress, ensuring they remain stable and effective throughout their shelf life—even under room temperature storage.

Glac Patented Microencapsulation Technology

Utilizing a unique ratio of natural peptides and carbohydrates, this patented structure provides essential nutrients to probiotics while maintaining their activity. Studies have shown that its effectiveness surpasses conventional methods, ensuring that products retain high Quality and strong Activity throughout the entire storage cycle.

 

• Patented Casein and Non-Reducing Sugar Layer (Taiwan Patent TW M63110)

Through a proprietary formulation of proteins and polysaccharide membranes, this protective layer effectively shields probiotics from unfavorable environmental factors. It significantly enhances their Stability and Viability, ensuring consistent performance from production to consumption.

 

Glac Patented Probiotic Micro-encapsulation: A New Milestone in Room Temperature Preservation

After years of research and development, Glac Biotech has created a golden-ratio, multi-layer patented encapsulation system.
These protective layers shield probiotics from external influences, ensuring stability and significantly improving convenience of consumption.

This patented technology not only preserves probiotic activity and improves survival rates, but also addresses multiple challenges in production, transportation, and storage. It guarantees room temperature preservation, extending shelf life and providing exceptional stability.

With our extensive expertise, Glac has developed a three-layer patented microencapsulation technology that comprehensively locks in probiotic nutrients. At the same time, carefully selected stable structural core materials ensure that probiotics maintain optimal activity at room temperature, prolonging their functional efficacy on the shelf.
