Can probiotics be frozen

In recent years, in addition to yogurt, condensed milk and other dairy products in supermarkets, the research and development of probiotic products is in a leading position in the health care industry. Probiotics are more and more used in health products. However, only live probiotics can play their functions, so the most important and easily overlooked problem is how to preserve probiotic products.

1. Normal temperature

Probiotic products processed by microencapsulation, freeze-drying and other technologies can be stored at room temperature. It should be noted that if the label indicates that the product should be stored at room temperature or not refrigerated, it should not be put into the refrigerator. But the premise is that the room temperature should not be too high. If it is more than 37 (such as in summer), it is recommended to refrigerate better. Because in a certain temperature range, relatively low temperature will be more conducive to the stability and activity of bacteria. But there are some special cases, such as Bacillus coagulans, which can survive in 80% hot water.

2. Avoid light

Probiotics products and many products, to avoid direct sunlight, reduce live bacteria over fermentation. In addition, direct sunlight and exposure to the sun can lead to high bottle temperature, which not only affects the taste, but also damages the activity of probiotics. You know, probiotics without activity have no effect. When you buy, you must calculate whether you can eat it within the shelf life; in addition to reasonable storage according to the storage conditions, it is recommended to eat it within 3 months after opening.

3. Low temperature

It is generally recommended that probiotics be preserved at low temperature. Most probiotic products are labeled with preservation conditions. If the label doesn't clearly say 'don't refrigerate', niulao suggests that it's safer to put probiotics in the refrigerator. Because probiotics are easier to survive at low temperatures. But remember, it's not frozen, it's Refrigerated!!!.

As long as the product quality is stable, the drying forms of probiotics, such as capsules, granules, powders and tablets, are not considered. In low temperature environment, probiotics are still active. Once they reach the internal environment, they will begin to reproduce and grow. In particular, most probiotic beverages have not been embedded and must be stored at low temperature. Daily maintenance of the intestine is also very necessary. It's good to drink yogurt every day, or a little zangling stachyose sooner or later, to provide food for probiotics in the body and inject new vitality into a better life.
