The invention concerns particles containing dehydrated living micro-organisms coated with a homogeneous layer of hydrophobic substance selected to reduce the risks of degradation of said micro-organisms by physico-chemical stresses such as heat, humidity, gastric acid, or compression. The invention also concerns a method for producing such particles, which consists in injecting a melting hydrophobic substance into the mass of said dehydrated micro-organisms placed in a chamber swept by an air stream at controlled temperature and whereof the base is rotating. The invention further concerns the particles obtainable by said method, and the use of said particles in pharmaceutical, dietetic or food compositions. |
