“…The LABs, in particular, involving Lactobacillus plantarum , Lactobacillus casei , Lactobacillus rhamnosus , Lactobacillus delbrueckii , Leuconostoc mesenterica , Streptococcus thermophilus , etc., are granted with GRAS (Generally regard as safety) status and dominate the fermentation microbiota in majority of fermented foods ( Dan et al, 2019 ; Di Cagno et al, 2017 ; Dongmo et al, 2017 ; Gupta and Abu-Ghannam, 2012 ). In addition, the foods are imparted with pleasant and distinct flavor, as well as a lots of functional substances including short chain fatty acids, extracellular polysaccharides, vitamins and bioactive peptides are also produced after being fermented by LAB ( Gharehyakheh, 2021 ; Liu et al, 2011 ; McFeeters, 2004 ; Mugampoza et al, 2019 ). Moreover, the reduction of undesirable flavors in the foods, for instance, the elimination of beany flavor in soymilk were observed ( Blagden and Gilliland, 2005 ); besides, some detrimental components including nitrite N-nitrosodimethylamine, and biogenic amines in fermented dry sausage, kimchi and sauerkraut, are also declined through being fermented with LABs ( Chen et al, 2016 ; Kim et al, 2017 ; Rabie et al, 2011 ).…”
