Book excerpt: Handbook of Sourdough Microbiota and Fermentation: Food Safety, Health Benefits, and Product Development links the cereal and sourdough-based microorganisms, fermentations and microbial metabolites with food hygiene and safety, functional and health promoting properties, and their potential interest to be employed in the agro-food sector and beyond. Structured in a way that provides the latest findings and most recent approaches and trends on sourdough this book also emphasizes the biotechnological aspects, such as fermentation, food processing and the use of beneficial microorganisms and their metabolites in different ways and in different industries. Written by experts from a multidisciplinary perspective, this book is a remarkable reference to a wide range of audiences with different backgrounds, from academics and researchers in food science to industrial food engineers and technicians, food plant managers, and new product and processing developers/managers in food packaging and preservation. - Covers how cereal-based and sourdough microorganisms and microbial metabolites can be used to extend the shelf-life of bread and other agro-food products - Presents microbial safety, fermentations, ropiness of baking-based products, bacterial and mold food spoilage, and the health promotion of sourdough and cereal-based products - Describes how cereal and sourdough-based products can contribute to convenient, nutritious, stable, natural, low-processed and healthy food
