Abstract
In the quest for a balanced diet and better health, the global shift towards nutrient-dense foods highlights the multiple roles of lactic acid bacteria exopolysaccharides (LAB-EPS) in improving food quality and health. This paper offers a comprehensive survey of LAB-EPS, focusing on their classification, biosynthesis pathways and application in the food industry, from dairy products to bakery products and meat. It highlights the impact of LAB-EPS on the texture and sensory qualities of food. Despite their promising prospects, these polysaccharides face various application challenges in the food industry. These include variability in EPS production among LAB strains, complexity in structure-function relationships, and limited understanding of their health benefits. In order to address these issues, the review identifies and suggests future research directions to optimize the production of LAB-EPS, elucidating their health benefit mechanisms, and expanding their application scope. In summary, this review aims to contribute to advance innovation and progress in the food industry by developing healthier food options and deepening the understanding of LAB-EPS in promoting human health.
期刊介绍：
Food Microbiology publishes original research articles, short communications, review papers, letters, news items and book reviews dealing with all aspects of the microbiology of foods. The editors aim to publish manuscripts of the highest quality which are both relevant and applicable to the broad field covered by the journal. Studies must be novel, have a clear connection to food microbiology, and be of general interest to the international community of food microbiologists. The editors make every effort to ensure rapid and fair reviews, resulting in timely publication of accepted manuscripts.
