The challenge to desication of probiotic living cells

Preservation of micro-organisms by desiccation has been the preferred method for long term storage of cultures whilst preserving cell viability. These processes result in exposure of the live probiotic bacteria to a variety of stresses, such as heat, cold, oxygen and osmotic stresses, leading to impaired functionality and loss of viability during drying and storage. The aim of this review is to discuss the process of producing anhydrobiotics in steps to obtain the highest cell viability
