Summary

This review examines microbial fermentation as a biotechnological platform across food and beverage industries, synthesising recent innovations in fermentation science and their practical application. The authors assess technical and commercial challenges limiting broader adoption, and identify emerging opportunities for process optimisation and novel product development. The work contributes to understanding how fermentation biotechnology can enhance food production efficiency and product quality.

UK applicability

UK food manufacturers and beverage producers may find the innovations and challenges outlined relevant to operational decision-making, though applicability depends on the specific fermentation applications and regional regulatory context covered. The review's scope (global vs. region-specific) would determine direct relevance to UK policy or practice frameworks.
