Probiotics for Food and Fermentation

Probiotics are a class of beneficial live microorganisms that not only balance the gut microbiota, promote nutrient absorption, and enhance immunity, but also ferment food, enhancing its nutritional value and flavor. In commercial foods, the presence of probiotics is believed to offer certain health benefits, leading to their application in the food sector as an important direction in recent food science and technology development. This has given rise to a range of functional foods that highlight probiotics as a key feature.

Fermented foods represent a traditional and significant application area for probiotics, with yogurt and pickles being the most widely used probiotic fermented foods. Lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria can break down lactose during fermentation, allowing those with lactose intolerance to enjoy dairy products. In pickles, lactic acid bacteria fermentation enriches the product with vitamins and beneficial microbes, promoting intestinal health. Throughout the manufacturing process, probiotics not only impart unique flavors to products like yogurt and pickles but also inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.

As the concept of probiotics becomes increasingly popular, many beverages and snacks are also fortified with probiotics and prebiotics to meet consumer demand for convenient healthy food options.
