Abstract

Aroma and flavour are the important part of food that increase the organoleptic properties of a food and makes the food more acceptable among consumers.

However, the health-promoting benefits of microbial bioprocesses products are numerous ranging, from antibiotics to fermented functional foods are among the most appreciable one. This review includes the verity of flavour production from various types of microorganisms and its application in the food industry, and a brief discussion about its health benefits among the consumers.
