This paper evaluated the potential of Aloe vera gel as encapsulation material of the probiotic lactic acid bacteria Weissella confusa . The bacteria are encapsulated by lyophilization and determined its viability. The results were compared between free cell viability, lyophilized cell-free and cells of Weissella confusa encapsulated in sodium caseinate at different concentrations. The results showed that Weissella confusa encapsulated in Aloe vera kept viability in 83.3% compared to free cells. And their viability was higher by 80%, compared to the viability of encapsulated cells in sodium caseinate solution at 10%. Therefore Aloe vera gel is considered as a promising material for encapsulation of lactic acid bacteria.
