Traditional biotechnology for new foods and beverages

Jeroen Hugenholtz. Curr Opin Biotechnol. 2013 Apr.

Abstract

The food and beverage industry is re-discovering fermentation as a crucial step in product innovation. Fermentation can provide various benefits such as unique flavor, health and nutrition, texture and safety (shelf life), while maintaining a 100% natural label. In this review several examples are presented on how fermentation is used to replace, modify or improve current, artificially produced, foods and beverages and how also fermentation can be used for completely novel consumer products.
