Popis: This research aimed to evaluate and optimize the electrospraying process of microencapsulating the probiotic strain, Leuconostoc lactis (NCDC 200), in a soy protein isolate (SPI) and sunflower oil (SO) combination matrix. In the present study, experimentation was conducted to establish the concentrations of SPI (12–15% w/v), SO (0–5% w/v), and the voltage range (10–15 kV) for the electrospraying operations. Probiotic characteristics, namely, the loss of viability of probiotic cells and encapsulation efficiency, were studied using Box-Behnken design, and specific runs were compared with the freeze-drying process. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were used for microcapsule characterization. The optimized electrospraying process conditions were found to be 13.13% (w/v) SPI, 10.24 kV voltage, and 4.77% (w/v) of SO, for which a viability loss of 0.663 log CFU/g (
