`Abstract
`High viability of dried probiotics is of great importance for immediate recovery of activity in fermented foods and
`for health-promoting effects of nutraceuticals. The conventional process for the production of dried probiotics is
`freeze-drying. However, loss of viability occurs during the drying and storage of the dried powder. It is believed
`that achieving the "glassy state" is necessary for survival, and the glassy state should be retained during
`freezing, drying, and storage of cells. Insight into the role of glassy state has been largely adopted from studies
`conducted with proteins and foods. However, studies on the role of glassy state particularly with probiotic cells
`are on the increase, and both common and explicit findings have been reported. Current understanding of the
`role of the glassy state on viability of probiotics is not only valuable for the production of fermented foods and
`nutraceuticals but also for the development of nonfermented functional foods that use the dried powder as an
`adjunct. Therefore, the aim of this review is to bring together recent findings on the role of glassy state on
`survival of probiotics during each step of production and storage. The prevailing state of knowledge and recent
`finding are discussed. The major gaps of knowledge have been identified and the perspective of ongoing and
`future research is addressed.
