Fermented Foods: Nutrition and Role in Health and Disease provides a comprehensive review of the recently discovered, or bioengineered, vitamin B2, B9 and B12-producing lactic acid bacteria, providing an in depth analysis of the latest biotechnological applications and potentialities, particularly the development of novel bioenriched fermented foods. The authors elucidate the impact of lactic acid fermentation on sulforaphane rich products in an effort to improve our understanding on the role of sulforaphane as a potential medicine in the treatment of various disorders. A proteinaceous compound produced by Leuconostoc lactis RK18 is characterized, isolated from a fermented Cambodian food product. Later, fermented meat products and fermented shrimp products are discussed, particularly focusing on their production, composition, microorganisms, health benefits and health risks.
