Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

The MDPI open access journals Foods, Microorganisms, Nutrients, and Dairy are launching a Topic titled “The Efficacy of Probiotics and Their Functional Metabolites in Fermented Foods”. This Topic will focus on the study of probiotics present in traditional fermented foods and their functional metabolic products, exploring their health benefits and mechanisms of action. The scope of this Topic includes, but is not limited to, the identification and characterization of probiotic strains in fermented foods, the analysis of their functional metabolites (e.g., organic acids, bioactive peptides, and exopolysaccharides), and their roles in promoting gut health, modulating the immune system, and preventing chronic diseases. Studies using advanced analytical techniques, such as liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS), metabolomics, and genomics, to uncover the complex interactions between probiotics, their metabolites, and human health are encouraged. This Topic welcomes high-quality research articles, reviews, and short communications that contribute to the understanding of the functional properties of probiotics and their metabolites in traditional fermented foods.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

  1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
  2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
  3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
  4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
  5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
