Better than a Dietary Supplement? Your Gelato as a Super-Carrier for Probiotics.
Can gelato be healthier than a dietary supplement? This article is a revolution in thinking about our product! Research proves that probiotic gelato not only works but can be a MORE EFFECTIVE carrier for good bacteria than traditional capsules. Discover why the fatty gelato matrix is the ideal environment for probiotics and how to leverage this trend to create true functional gelato.
For years, gelato has been seen as a pure indulgence, often labeled a "guilty pleasure." But what if I told you it could be one of the most effective ways to deliver valuable probiotics to the body? This scientific article sheds a whole new light on gelato quality, proving that our favorite dessert can be a powerful ally in health care.
Scientists conducted a fascinating experiment: they compared the impact on the gut microbiota of two products—specially prepared probiotic gelato and a dietary supplement in capsules containing the same bacterial strains. The results are absolutely groundbreaking for our industry. It turned out that the gelato not only matched the supplement but, in some aspects, even surpassed it! Why? The key is the gelato matrix—a unique structure of fat and protein that acts as a protective shield for probiotics, helping them survive the journey through the stomach and reach the intestines at full strength.
This study is proof that we are entering the era of functional gelato. Customers are no longer just looking for flavor, but also for added value. And we, the gelato makers, have the perfect tool in our hands to give it to them. However, producing such gelato is a challenge. How do you add live bacterial cultures without disrupting the perfect balance of the recipe, its sweetness, or the plasticity of the gelato? How do you ensure product stability and its excellent texture?
