Microcapsules were characterized for encapsulation efficiency (EE); process yield (PY); morphology, texture, and physicochemical properties; and structural features were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier\u2010transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and x\u2010ray diffraction (XRD). Storage stability was assessed for 90 days at 4\u00b0C and 25\u00b0C, and probiotic survival was evaluated under simulated GI conditions. Encapsulation produced high EE (up to approximately 97%) and PY (96% on average), and the presence of RS and EGCG enhanced the structural quality of the encapsulation matrix. SEM confirmed a compact and uniform surface in RS\u2010 and EGCG\u2010based capsules, while FTIR and XRD indicated hydrogen bonding and reduced crystallinity. During storage, the SA\u2010RS\u2010EGCG matrix maintained &gt; 8.0 log colony\u2010forming unit (CFU)\/g of LP at 4\u00b0C after 90 days, whereas free (unencapsulated) cells declined to &lt; 3.5 log CFU\/g. Under simulated digestion, free cells rapidly decreased, while SA\u2010RS\u2010EGCG retained approximately 85%\u201390% LP survival in gastric fluid and showed sustained release in intestinal fluid. These findings demonstrate that SA encapsulation provides an effective protective barrier for LP, whereas the incorporation of RS and EGCG further improves matrix structure, probiotic stability, and controlled release through complementary effects, highlighting the potential of this tri\u2010component delivery system for functional food applications.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Practical Applications<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The composite encapsulation system developed in this study offers a practical approach to enhancing the stability of probiotic bacteria in functional foods.
