  Exploring the Microbiological Safety of Traditionally Processed Fermented Foods
  Author(s): Kirti Dhar* and Sourav Gupta
  
  Traditionally processed fermented foods have been consumed for centuries, contributing to cultural heritage and dietary diversity worldwide. However, concerns regarding their microbiological safety have emerged due to the potential presence of harmful microorganisms and toxins. This manuscript provides an overview of the microbiological safety considerations associated with traditionally processed fermented foods, including fermentation dynamics, microbial ecology, and strategies for ensuring safety. Key factors influencing microbial safety, such as starter cultures, fermentation conditions, and post-fermentation handling, are discussed. Additionally, the role of emerging technologies and regulatory frameworks in enhancing the safety of fermented foods is explored. Understanding the microbiological safety aspects of traditionally processed fermented foods is es.. Read More»
