The use of phages in food systems to modulate the human gut microbiota is currently gaining increasing interest. However, several studies have reported low viability of phages under gastrointestinal conditions. Furthermore, processed foods nowadays contain only few phage particles. Hence, this study aimed at encapsulating phages to increase their survival under gastrointestinal conditions allowing the release of phages in active form in the intestine.
