Fermented Foods: A Core Segment of Functional and Traditional Nutrition -

Fermented foods are produced through biological fermentation, in which microorganisms such as bacteria, yeasts, and molds convert sugars, proteins, and fats into simpler compounds. This process enhances flavor, texture, shelf life, and nutritional value. Common fermented foods include yogurt, cheese, kimchi, sauerkraut, tofu, miso, soy sauce, beer, and wine.

The global fermented food portfolio spans multiple categories, including dairy products, meat and fish, vegetables and fruits, bakery and confectionery items, fermented beverages, and food flavors and ingredients. Dairy-based fermented foods such as yogurt and cheese continue to dominate consumption due to their probiotic benefits, while fermented condiments and beverages remain culturally significant across Asia and Europe. Growing global exposure to traditional diets has further broadened acceptance of fermented foods worldwide.
