FERMENTATION TECHNOLOGY: SCIENCE OF FUNCTIONAL FOODS
Traditionally fermentation was used to preserve food and extend its shelf life. However, modem fermentation technologies have gained popularity due to increasing scientific research highlighting their health benefits, which include reducing blood cholesterol levels, preventing non-communicable diseases (NCDs), stimulating the immune system, and inhibiting pathogens. Such advantages stem from the synthesis of bioactive compounds produced by microorganisms as they degrade organic substances.
