Abstract Two potential probiotic strains namely Staphylococcus succinus (MAbB4) and Enterococcus fecium (FIdM3) selected from previous probiotic property studies were co-encapsulated with complementary prebiotics. Two different prebiotics selected by in vitro fermentation viz. sugarbeet and chicory were separately encapsulated with both the strains in 2 g/100 mL alginate and were tested for the efficiency in improving the viability compared to free cells under in vitro acidic conditions. Results indicated significant improvement (P
