“…Using culture-dependent enrichment strategies and classical selection on agar media for LAB, the presence of the genera Apilactobacillus , Enterococcus , Furfurilactobacillus , Lactiplantibacillus , Leuconostoc , Limosilactobacillus , Pediococcus , and Weissella has been shown. However, fruit and fruit juice fermentations not only might deliver a good opportunity to save fruits from low-quality grading and decay due to overproduction, and thus from food losses, but it is also aligned with consumer trends toward the consumption of healthier, fresh-like, high-nutritional-value, ready-to-eat or –drink fermented foods and beverages, including plant-based, non-dairy and non-alcoholic beverages ( Di Cagno et al, 2013 , 2016a ; Randazzo et al, 2016 ; De Roos and De Vuyst, 2018 ; Isas et al, 2020 ; Crespo et al, 2021 ; Gaglio et al, 2021 ). Fruit losses occur in particular in countries overproducing fruits, including tropical fruits grown in the Northern part of Argentina, which represent important crops for the region’s agricultural sector ( Ruiz Rodríguez et al, 2019 ).…”
