Fermentation introduces characteristic aroma, flavor, texture, and nutritional profile into food, besides removing anti-nutritional factors and toxins.Traditional food fermentation processes can be lactic acid, fungal or alkaline fermentations which produce fermented foods such as Yogurt, Saurekraut, kimchi, meat sausages etc. Many fermented foods are highly nutritional and have anti-aging and anticancer properties.
