Oral Co-supplementation with Pediococcus pentosaceus Probiotic and Enteric Polymeric Phycocyanin Nanoparticles Mitigates Aging-Related Biomarkers in Male Wistar Rats: A Preclinical Investigation

Abstract C-phycocyanin (C-PC) is a promising anti-aging nutraceutical due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties; however, its instability under acidic conditions limits its efficacy, necessitating advanced formulation strategies. This study evaluated the anti-aging...

Development of probiotic yoghurt fortified with high-purity Chlorella vulgaris-derived lutein and its nanoencapsulated form for enhanced stability and functional efficacy

Lutein delivery from microalgae into probiotic yogurt is limited by poor aqueous solubility, oxidative degradation during fermentation, and reduced bioaccessibility. This study developed a scalable synbiotic yogurt fortified with high-purity lutein (92%, HPLC-confirmed) extracted...
