This chapter describes the microbial diversity and interactions underlying the production of fermented dairy products, meats, tea, coffee, chocolate, and tobacco. It summarizes how raw materials, processing parameters, and environmental factors shape microbial communities and their metabolic activities, ultimately determining flavor, texture, and functional qualities. Microbial cooperation and succession drive key biochemical transformations that influence product characteristics. With advances in microbial omics, strain identification and functional analysis now enable more precise control of fermentation, improved quality and safety, and the development of novel functional products. The chapter also highlights future directions in high-dimensional omics and targeted fermentation.

摘要

This chapter describes the microbial diversity and interactions underlying the production of fermented dairy products, meats, tea, coffee, chocolate, and tobacco. It summarizes how raw materials, processing parameters, and environmental factors shape microbial communities and their metabolic activities, ultimately determining flavor, texture, and functional qualities. Microbial cooperation and succession drive key biochemical transformations that influence product characteristics. With advances in microbial omics, strain identification and functional analysis now enable more precise control of fermentation, improved quality and safety, and the development of novel functional products. The chapter also highlights future directions in high-dimensional omics and targeted fermentation.
