The probiotic foods market is growing exponentially; however, probiotics’ survivability and interaction with product attributes pose major challenges. A previous study of our lab developed a spray-dried encapsulant utilizing whey protein hydrolysate-maltodextrin and probiotics with high viable counts and enhanced bioactive properties. Viscous products such as butter could be suitable carriers for such encapsulated probiotics. The objective of the current study was to standardize this encapsulant in salted and unsalted butter, followed by storage stability studies at 4 °C. Butter was prepared at a lab-scale level, and the encapsulant was added at 0.1% and 1%, followed by physiochemical and microbiological characterization. Analyses were conducted in triplicates, and means were differentiated (p< 0.05). The viability of probiotic bacteria and the physicochemical characteristics of the butter samples with 1% encapsulant were significantly higher as compared to 0.1%. Furthermore, the 1% encapsulated probiotics butter variant showed a relatively higher stability of probiotics ratio (LA5 and BB12) than the control with unencapsulated probiotics during storage conditions. Although the acid values increased along with a mixed trend of hardness, the difference was insignificant. This study thus provided a proof of concept for incorporating encapsulated probiotics in salted and unsalted butter samples.
