The document summarizes the results of real-world emissions testing of over 1200 vehicles. It finds that nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions are on average 4 times legal limits, and real-world fuel economy and carbon dioxide emissions are 29% and 41% higher than official figures, respectively. Performance differs significantly between models certified to the same standard. Upcoming regulations may improve but not solve the problem. The need for an independent, real-world emissions standard is greater than ever.

Routes to Clean Air 2016 - Dr Marion Wichmann Fiebig

This document discusses air quality and interventions in Greater Manchester. It notes that Transport for Greater Manchester oversees transport across the region, which has over 2.7 million residents across 10 local authorities. It outlines challenges with emissions and current actions being taken, including expanding public transport infrastructure, over 300 electric vehicle charging points, and improving bus and freight fleets. Future plans discussed include expanding the use of low-emission vehicles, further public transport improvements, and considering a Clean Air Zone, though political and economic impacts would need to be balanced.

Clear Air Zones – What are Local Authorities Proposing? - Nigel Bellamy

The document summarizes progress on Clean Air Zones in the UK. It outlines that the UK has been in breach of legal limits for nitrogen dioxide and discusses the need for immediate action to improve air quality and health. It defines Clean Air Zones as areas with restrictions on certain vehicles to encourage cleaner vehicles. Authorities need to develop local plans with measures to achieve compliance, which requires modeling emissions and impacts. Options being considered by authorities include charges for different vehicle types in Clean Air Zones of varying sizes and stringency. Authorities are at different stages with some publishing initial plans focusing on buses, taxis, HGVs or LGVs. The overall progress aims to achieve compliance with legal limits as soon as possible to reduce human exposure

Routes to Clean Air 2016 - Alan Andrews, Client Earth

Routes to Clean Air 2015 - Poppy Lyle

This document discusses London's air quality challenges and efforts to improve air quality. It summarizes that while huge progress has been made in reducing NO2 levels by 2020, London will still not meet EU legal limits. It proposes an Ultra Low Emission Zone in central London to promote ultra low emission vehicles. Other initiatives discussed include upgrading London's bus fleet to hybrid and zero emission buses, requiring new taxis to be zero emission capable from 2018, and a campaign to educate Londoners on air pollution through a website and digital ads.

The first Real Driving Emissions results, consequences for Euro 6 diesels and...

The document discusses the issues surrounding real-world diesel emissions and proposes solutions. It finds that while cleaner diesels exist, many Euro 6 diesels still emit significantly more NOx than their emission standards. This has led to consumer confusion and distrust. It also discusses how the independent testing organization Emissions Analytics has built a large emissions database, but more is needed. The document proposes that Emissions Analytics works with the new independent non-profit organization AIR to make the data and testing methodology open and help cities take effective action to improve air quality.

Delivering cleaner air in the city of London - Ruth Calderwood

The City of London Corporation has developed an Air Quality Strategy for 2019-2024 to improve air quality in the Square Mile and protect public health. The strategy aims to meet legal limits for nitrogen dioxide and World Health Organization guidelines for particulate matter by 2025 and 2030 respectively. It involves monitoring air quality, reducing emissions from transportation and other sources, collaborating with partners, and raising public awareness of air pollution issues.

Do diesel vehicles cause poor air quality? - Dr Claire Holman

Real world measurements of ammonia emissions from vehicles - Rebecca Rose

- Ammonia emissions from petrol vehicles are higher than diesel vehicles due to three-way catalysts, with older petrol vehicles emitting more. - Ammonia emissions from diesel vehicles have increased with the widespread adoption of selective catalytic reduction technology to meet lower NOx limits. - Cold starts result in significantly higher ammonia emissions from petrol vehicles than hot exhaust emissions, important for urban air quality. - While ammonia emissions from road transport are declining due to cleaner petrol vehicles, they may rise again with more diesel vehicles using SCR and unknown aging effects on new models.

Air pollution from NOx: Origin, health impacts and regulatory requirements - ...

In this presentation Sir David will cover the development of the EURO standards for vehicle emissions, and how the European Union took the approach to encourage car manufacturers to produce diesel-fuelled cars, as distinct from trucks. The original development of regulations for petrol-fuelled vehicles, beginning in California, were based on the first successful development of car exhaust catalysts by the Pt-group-metals British company, Johnson-Matthey. Similarly, the Euro regulations for diesel-fuelled vehicles was based on the promise of the development of efficient trap-catalysts suitable for diesel exhausts. This review will cover the subsequent development of off-road tests for cars in the EU, and how the Euro standards were always obviated by the car manufacturing industry. Now that this has been exposed, alongside the worsening of NOx levels in European cities, the issue of Government and city actions which are appropriate to rapidly diminish the levels of pollution must be examined.

Indirect emissions from a future UK ULEV fleet – An holistic view - Alun McIn...

The planned move to an electric vehicle fleet in the UK over the next 30 years is viewed as essential in reducing our dependency upon oil and for improving urban air quality. These growing forces for change in transport fuels and a wider focus upon personal travel behaviours raise important and wide-ranging questions for the future environment and continuing sustainable development. Alun will explore how much electricity is needed to power a future electric car fleet and how we will generate it. What are the direct and indirect emissions associated with an electric fleet and what are the emissions associated with exploration, exploitation, refining and production of rare earth metals for batteries?

This document discusses using different fiscal instruments to reduce NOx emissions from cars in a cost-effective manner. It finds that incentives targeting multiple factors are more cost-effective than those targeting just a few factors. Increasing fuel taxes is an ineffective way to reduce NOx emissions. Increasing existing circulation taxes induces people to scrap old, polluting cars. Basing circulation taxes on emission factors produces larger NOx reductions at lower costs by encouraging cleaner vehicle technology. A circulation tax accounting for both emissions and mileage provides more choices and achieves further NOx reductions at the same cost. Taxing actual emissions could optimize reductions but is difficult to implement.

Plug-in vehicles and the transition to low emission road transport - Andrew ...

Andrew will be discussing the practical opportunities and challenges of the UK’s transition to Ultra Low Emission Vehicles, utilising the experience gained by the Energy Saving Trust over the last decade through their work with the Office of Low Emission Vehicles, Transport Scotland and Transport for London. He will cover the current state of the market and rate of change in technology while debunking some of the myths around electric vehicles. He will also share the Energy Saving Trust’s experience of helping over 300 organisations to understand how they can benefit from electric vehicles, and the steps to take on that journey. The presentation will also cover the breadth of incentives, help and support available across the UK, and what is being done to meet the electric vehicle recharging challenge.

This document reviews hydrogen blending projects in the UK and EU and assesses the suitability of Gas Networks Ireland's assets to transport hydrogen blends. It provides an overview of existing and emerging hydrogen certification schemes in countries like Australia, Canada, China, Japan, UK, and USA. It also outlines Ireland's policy context, including its commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 7% per year to 2030 and achieve net zero by 2050. Ireland's National Energy and Climate Plan and Climate Action Plan 2021 commit to carrying out work to deliver 1 to 3 TWh of zero emissions gas including green hydrogen by the end of the decade.

STEP Annual Conference 2018 - Andrea Mackie, Edinburgh LEZ

This document discusses developing low emission zones in Edinburgh to improve air quality. It notes that air pollution causes premature deaths and reduced life expectancy. Road transport, particularly nitrogen dioxide, significantly contributes to poor air quality. The city has been measuring air quality and pollution levels have been decreasing. Non-LEZ initiatives have focused on improving bus and taxi fleets. The city is committed to exploring LEZ options and is developing an air quality model to understand pollution levels and test potential LEZ scenarios. Options being considered include vehicle restrictions based on type or location. A public consultation will help shape proposals for LEZs along with other projects before potential implementation by 2020.

STEP Summer Seminar 2017 - Johnathan Murray, Low CVP - Trends in Emissions

This document discusses trends in vehicle emissions and strategies for reducing emissions from commercial vehicles in the UK. It notes that commercial vehicles, particularly light commercial vehicles, are an increasing source of greenhouse gas emissions and poor air quality. There are a range of technologies that can help reduce both greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants from commercial vehicles. Accreditation schemes for low-carbon vehicles and components could provide confidence to fleet operators and a metric for government incentives. Improving real-world testing and addressing emissions from auxiliary equipment are also important areas to focus on in working towards emissions reduction targets.

Routes to Clean Air 2015 - Dr Stephen Thomson

The document summarizes Scotland's plan to improve air quality, called the Cleaner Air for Scotland strategy. The strategy has 6 objectives: communications, transport, climate change, health, placemaking, and legislation. Key actions include developing a national air quality awareness campaign, reviewing policies to incentivize low-emission buses and walking/cycling, and ensuring future planning considers air quality impacts. Performance will be tracked using emissions reductions and changes to transport mode shares. Overall the strategy aims to reduce health issues from air pollution and make Scotland's air the best in Europe by 2030.

16.00 Addressing Air Pollution in Net Zero work.pdf

Sarah Legge discussed addressing air quality considerations in net zero plans and projects. Major technological changes to reduce fossil fuel use and a more urbanized lifestyle will impact air quality. New policies require addressing particulate matter (PM2.5) emissions. Designing long-term plans should consider potential air quality benefits and risks of climate measures. Short-term opportunities exist to optimize actions that reduce both emissions and air pollution during the transition to net zero. Guidance is being updated to help local authorities better integrate air quality and climate action planning.

Expanding London's ULEZ 27.09.22.pdf

The document summarizes the expansion of London's Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), which aims to improve air quality and reduce harmful emissions. It discusses the progressive implementation of low emission zones in London over time, including the ULEZ and Low Emission Zone (LEZ). It also outlines the benefits of the expanded ULEZ, including increased compliance of vehicles and reductions in non-compliant vehicles and diesel cars. However, it notes there is still work to be done to meet World Health Organization air quality guidelines as London exceeds limits for nitrogen dioxide and fine particles.

14.40 The role of clean air zones in achieving the UK’s net-zero emissions ta...

Clean air zones (CAZs) are areas that charge vehicles for not meeting emission standards. While originally intended to reduce nitrogen dioxide, CAZs can help the UK achieve its 2050 net-zero emissions target by restricting polluting vehicles and encouraging cleaner options. The document discusses how CAZs have been implemented in many UK cities and are most effective at reducing air pollution near schools. However, there is also controversy over their potential economic impacts and unfair effects on some groups.

The document outlines Bradford's Low Emission Strategy which was adopted in 2013 to improve poor air quality in the city. Bradford was awarded funding to develop the strategy and study the feasibility of a Low Emission Zone. The strategy aims to optimize policies, raise awareness, accelerate cleaner fuels and technologies, and promote partnerships to build on best practices. Initiatives include introducing low emission vehicles to the council fleet, working with local businesses and universities, and using planning policies to encourage low emission options. The feasibility study evaluated options for a Low Emission Zone in Bradford, including restricting access for high-polluting vehicles in certain areas. Health impact assessments were conducted to inform the strategy and potential zone.

TrIsCo UK Study Tour: Code for Sustainable Homes

The document discusses sustainability standards for new homes in the UK, specifically the Code for Sustainable Homes (CSH). It provides: 1) An overview of the CSH, which rates new homes on a scale of 1-6 for sustainability, and sets mandatory standards for energy/CO2 and water that must be met at each level. 2) Details on how the CSH applies specifically to Registered Social Landlords, who are required to build to a Level 3 standard currently and Level 4 starting in 2010. 3) Examples of projects built to Levels 4 and 5 that demonstrate different construction methods and technologies used to achieve higher CSH ratings.

Some thoughts on future air quality issues - Professor Martin Williams

Professor Martin Williams discusses several issues related to future air quality in the UK and Europe. He outlines challenges in meeting commitments in the UK Clean Air Strategy and uncertainties around the effectiveness of clean air zones and real-world vehicle emissions. Williams also notes potential antagonisms between climate change policies aimed at reducing CO2 and air quality if measures like increased biomass burning are not properly managed. He summarizes upcoming changes to WHO air quality guidelines and uncertainties following Brexit regarding environmental regulations and oversight.

This document discusses approaches to assessing air quality and climate change impacts in an integrated and holistic manner. It provides an overview of key policies and targets relating to air quality, climate change mitigation and adaptation in the UK. It also outlines examples of how impacts may be assessed for a transport project, including evaluating options, modeling air quality impacts, assessing construction impacts, quantifying carbon, and ensuring climate resilience. The goal is to identify opportunities to reduce emissions and increase sustainability across all stages of a project's lifecycle.

Exploration of cross-sector emissions benefits of medium- and heavy-duty vehi...

IEA-ETSAP

The document summarizes research exploring the air pollution and emissions benefits of electrifying medium- and heavy-duty vehicles using the EPAUS9rT-TIMES energy system model. The research finds that adopting a target of 100% zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicles by 2050 results in net carbon dioxide reductions despite increasing electricity demand. It also finds marginal reductions in other air pollutants from the transportation sector, though reductions are smaller than declines seen in the power and industrial sectors. A carbon tax can further reduce emissions but is not necessary for the zero-emissions vehicle target to provide benefits.

Low Emission Strategy in London Jo Boyd-Wallis

This document discusses London's strategy to reduce emissions through various policies and initiatives. It outlines the current Low Emission Zone (LEZ) that charges high-polluting commercial vehicles driving in London, which has successfully reduced particulate matter. It proposes a new Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) for central London that would affect more vehicle types and have tighter emission standards. The ULEZ aims to address nitrogen dioxide exceedances and is part of a wider strategy that also involves promoting low-emission buses and taxis. The timeline for implementing the ULEZ is still pending further announcements.

A Contractor’s Perspective on Redeveloping Historical Landfills

Andy O'Dea, Technical Director of Cognition Land and Water, discusses challenges with redeveloping historical landfills. Key challenges include overly complex waste regulation, the unsuitability of using the Definition of Waste Code of Practice (DoWCoP) for landfill restoration projects, and lack of clear guidance. Through project examples, O'Dea illustrates how using DoWCoP previously allowed sustainable reuse of soils but the revised agency position now prohibits this for landfilled materials. He calls for pragmatic solutions like a new recovery permit to better facilitate sustainable management and reuse of surplus soils from construction projects.

Are we in a sustainable world?

The document outlines the evolution of the three pillars of sustainable development - society, economy, and environment - through different eras from hunter-gathering to modern times. It shows how societies and economies developed based on agriculture, then industry, and now a global digital economy, and how each transition impacted the environment. The conclusion suggests that for the future, we need an integrated economy, society, and consideration for the global environment.

16.00 Updates to CURED and CREAM Emissions Models.pdf

- The document describes updates made to the CURED and CREAM emissions models, which predict emissions of NOx, PM, and NH3 from road vehicles. - For CURED, the updates include incorporating projections of electric vehicle uptake from the Transport Analysis Guidance, and a new approach for calculating non-exhaust PM emissions. Comparisons show CURED estimates of NOx and PM emissions are slightly lower than the Emissions Factors Toolkit. - For CREAM, updates include incorporating the same electric vehicle projections as CURED and updated ammonia emission factors. Comparisons show higher estimated ammonia emissions than the previous version, especially with inclusion of cold starts.

15.30 Reducing Construction Emissions.pdf

This document discusses reducing construction emissions through partnerships and tools. It introduces a partnership with Impact on Urban Health to identify exemplar construction sites and develop an emissions tool. The tool calculates emissions from non-road mobile machinery and compares scenarios to benchmarks. The tool was updated to include carbon calculations and additional fuels. Next steps include sharing the tool widely and updating it with real-world emissions data. The tool helps plan equipment use and evaluate policies but has limitations in fully capturing alternative fuel emissions.

15.30 Ethical considerations when determining air quality policies.pdf

This document discusses the ethical considerations of using air quality standards as the principal policy lever for determining air quality policies. It notes that while standards were effective when acute health impacts were thought to occur above thresholds, evidence now suggests pollution affects health down to low concentrations with no clear threshold. Standards also focus only on areas in exceedance, leaving large inequalities. Overall, directly targeting emissions through reductions may be a more ethical approach as it affects the population equally and aims to maximize health benefits. The document advocates that policies should be clearly articulated to allow the public to judge costs and impacts, and that national emission policies are likely to result in greater health benefits and equity across the population.

It aims to eliminate harmful exposures, promote substitutes for hazards, and ensure workers have proper protection. BOHS conducts research, publishes information, advises regulators, and runs awareness campaigns on occupational hygiene topics like chemicals, dusts, and ventilation.

12.15 Insights from the Clean Air Networks Conference.pdf

The document summarizes insights from the Clean Air Networks Conference. It discusses two waves of funding from the Strategic Priorities Fund (SPF) Clean Air totalling over £40 million to support air quality research. This includes developing solutions to air pollution and addressing indoor and outdoor air quality challenges. It outlines the Clean Air Champions network and priorities for advancing air quality science, including overcoming barriers through multidisciplinary research, stakeholder engagement, funding, data sharing, and better communication to enable behaviour change.

12.00 Applied Source Apportionment using Low Cost Sensors.pdf

This document describes a new low-cost method for particulate matter source apportionment using particle number size distribution analysis. It has been tested on two sites: a construction site for the HS2 rail project in Birmingham, and a granite quarry in Leicestershire. The method was able to identify unique particle profiles associated with different pollution sources at each site, such as construction activities or quarry works. It shows potential to automate source apportionment using machine learning and a growing database of particle profiles from known sources. Future work includes applying this technique to establish better emission factors and expand its use in environmental impact assessments.

11.15 Addressing emissions from NRMM.pdf

The document discusses London's Non-Road Mobile Machinery (NRMM) Low Emission Zone, which aims to reduce emissions from construction machinery. It has led to measured reductions of 48% for PM10 and PM2.5, and 42% for NOx, compared to baseline levels. The zone requires machinery above 37kW to meet certain emission standards, and sites must register their machinery online. Compliance is enforced through on-site inspections. The standards have tightened over time and will require newer Stage V machines by 2023. The program has seen little industry pushback and provides a model that could be applied in other cities.

09.45 Dispersion modelling considerations for Net Zero and air quality.pdf

Catheryn Price will give a talk at the "Routes to Clean Air, 2023" conference on modeling fugitive methane emissions and controlled carbon dioxide venting from carbon capture facilities. Some of the projects discussed will include modeling fugitive methane from landfills and other sites using inverse dispersion modeling, verifying a carbon dioxide emissions inventory in Glasgow using ambient measurements, and assessing potential degradation products from amine emissions from carbon capture. The talk will emphasize that while new challenges arise in modeling emissions related to achieving net zero goals, established approaches like validation, sensitivity testing, transparency, and knowledge sharing can help address uncertainties.

09.15Measuring air pollutant emissions using novel techniques.pdf

This document discusses using novel techniques like remote sensing, telematics data, and sensor data to measure vehicular pollutant concentrations and emissions at high spatial and temporal resolution. Combining data streams from different devices allows the generation of detailed maps of air pollution sources, levels, and how they change over time and location. While this offers potential benefits, integrating diverse data also raises privacy and ethical concerns that need addressing.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...

Joshua Orris

Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system. Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs. In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier. The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...

Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Joshua Orris

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...

Open Access Research Paper

Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...

Open Access Research Paper

The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
