Cover Story: Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) are pivotal in transforming food for improved safety, quality, sensory perception and nutritional attributes. This review explores LAB's multifaceted role in food processing, highlighting the potential of this important group of bacteria in terms of contributing to the nutritional and organoleptic profile of foods and fermented beverages, including dairy products, meat and fish, cereals and vegetables, and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. In this review, emphasis is placed on the metabolites of LAB, including various organic acids, and bacteriocins, examining the roles they play in food safety, pathogen inactivation, reducing toxins, and biopreservation. The challenges faced through the utilisation of LAB in the food sector are highlighted, including issues regarding strain selection, stability, and regulatory constraints in LAB use. View this paper
