Research Progress of Compound Fermented Beverages for Medicinal and Food Purposes in China
Substances that are both food and medicine,due to their high nutritional value and medicinal effects,have received extensive attention in the food processing industry,especially in the fermented beverage sector.Microbial fermentation technology not only enhances the flavor and nutritional value of beverages but also regulates intestinal flora and boosts immunity.Combining recent domestic research,no systematic reports on fermented beverages made from food-medicine sources have been found.Therefore,this article takes fermented beverages from food-medicine sources as the background,systematically reviews the types of fermentation,fermentation strains,fermentation techniques,and functional substances of composite fermented beverages,analyzes and summarizes the formula progress and health effects of food-medicine source composite fermented beverages,and on this basis,looks forward to future development to provide a reference for in-depth research on food-medicine source composite fermented beverages and theoretical support for promoting innovation and transformation in the health beverage market.
