Positive use of Micro-organisms in Food

Micro-organisms are not always harmful and can be beneficial in food preparation and preservation.
They are used in the fermentation process to change the taste, appearance, and texture of food products.
Lactic acid bacteria ferments milk to produce yoghourt and cheese.
Yeast ferments sugar in dough to create leavened bread.
Some fermented foods, like sauerkraut and kimchi, provide health benefits through probiotics.
Probiotics are live micro-organisms contributing to gut health and overall well-being.
