Application of Microbial Fermentation of Walnut Meal in Food Production
Cold-pressed walnut meal is a byproduct of the walnut oil production process,characterized by its high protein content,making it an excellent food ingredient.Through the use of microbial fermentation technology,the large-molecule proteins in cold-pressed walnut meal can be transformed into small-molecule peptides or amino acids.Additionally,this process can also break down tannins and other anti-nutritional factors,thereby enhancing its edibility and nutritional value.This paper provides a comprehensive analysis and overview of the nutritional value of walnut meal,fermentation strains,fermentation methods,and its applications in the field of food microbial fermentation.It aims to offer theoretical references for the application of walnut meal in food microbial fermentation production.
