Abstract

The goal of the present study was to evaluate the encapsulation of Weissella paramesenteroides, isolated from bee bread, as a technological tool for its use in biological fish silage. The pH decrease in fish silages using the bacteria encapsulated and in a non-encapsulated form was compared. W. paramesenteroides showed a good performance in the development of biological fish silage. The alginate encapsulation method showed an encapsulation efficacy of 85% and provides a reliable technological application.
