The Metabolites Produced by Lactic Acid Bacteria and Their Role in the Microbiota–Gut–Brain Axis

Abstract excerpt

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have historically been used in fermentation processes, playing a key role in the development of foods with health benefits. Understanding the factors that affect LAB functionality is essential for optimizing their application. During fermentation processes, LAB produce different metabolites of interest, such as lactic acid, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and short-chain fatty acids, who...
