 FERMENTED FOODS?

• Fermented foods are foods and beverages that have undergone

controlled microbial growth and fermentation.
• There are thousands of different types of fermented foods, including:
• cultured milk and yoghurt
• wine
• beer 
• cider
• cheese
• miso
• kimchi
• sauerkraut
• fermented sausage.
 WHAT IS FERMENTATION?
• Fermentation is a natural process through which microorganisms like
yeast and bacteria convert carbs — such as starch and sugar — into
alcohol or acids.  fermentation typically refers to the fermentation of 
sugar to alcohol using yeast, but other fermentation processes involve
the use of bacteria such as lactobacillus, including the making of foods
such as yogurt .
• The science of fermentation is known as zymology.
• The alcohol or acids act as a natural preservative and give fermented
foods a distinct zest and tartness.
• It is an ancient technique of preserving food.
HOW CHEESE IS MADE?
FERMENTED BEVERAGES

• Fruit juices which have undergone alcoholic fermentation by

yeasts include wine, champaigne, port, sherry, tokay, muscat,
perry, orange wine, berry wine, nira and cider.
BUT HOW THEY ARE MADE?
VINEGAR

• The product made from carbohydrates obtained from different

fruits by a process of oxidation in which alcohol is converted
into acetic acid by the agency of bacteria of the genus
Acetobacter, especially A. aceti or by acetic fermentation is called
vinegar.
• It can be manufactured as a byproduct from the remains of fruits
after extracting the juice from fruits.
• Fruit vinegars will have a unique flavour of the fruits used.
Vinegar can be made from apple, grape or other fruits.
 PREBIOTICS AND PROBIOTICS

:Prebiotics are food ingredients that

the microorganisms in your body (e.g. :Probiotics are live microorganisms or
gut bacteria) use or ‘feed’ on to grow bacteria that provide a health benefit to
and live, leading to health benefits
the human body .
BENEFITS?

• The probiotics produced during fermentation can help restore the

balance of friendly bacteria in your gut .
• The bacteria that live in your gut have a significant impact on your
immune system.
• Due to their high probiotic content, fermented foods can give your
immune system a boost and reduce your risk of infections like the
common cold.
• Fermentation helps break down nutrients in food, making them easier
to digest than their unfermented counterparts.
• For example, lactose — the natural sugar in milk — is broken down
during fermentation into simpler sugars — glucose and galactose
