Role of Bacteria and Yeast in Fermentation

Abstract

Fermentation processes using bacteria and yeast are key in numerous industries and have great relevance for human health outcomes, too. As this review article discusses the various applications and benefits of fermentation research in different sectors, we will focus on recent progress in industrial processes and potential academic impacts. The review sets out a number of examples of research on levels that range from single microbes to entire populations. It also studies the role of compounds in fermentation-foods and beverages. Key references cited here underscore such salient points as the need for an understanding of microbial dynamics in fermentation processes, role of probiotic microorganisms, microbial source tracking and development synthetic microbial consortia for optimal fermentation outcomes. In addition, the review explores the effects of fermentation on food safety, shelf-life extension, and the development of functional products. This insight highlights the vital role that microbial interactions play in shaping fermentation processes. And it suggests the possibility of both product improvement and improved health outcomes if we learn more about these interactions. This article gives an in-depth exploration of how bacteria and yeast are used in fermentation, from the given situations and changes that come about.
