- Separate chapters for different bioactive molecules in Fermented foods - The book includes the recent advances in health benefits aspects of different fermented foods - The book includes specific section on Health benefits of important fermented foods

This up-to-date reference book discusses the synthesis, production, and application of various microbial enzymes and metabolites for health. Microorganisms like bacteria (lactic acid bacteria, Bacillus species), yeasts, and filamentous fungi have been globally exploited for their biotechnological applications. This book discusses ways to use them commercially. Chapters include the production of fibrinolytic enzymes, microbial lipases, bacteriocin production by lactic acid bacteria, and bioactives produced. It also covers microbial synthesis of alkaloids, terpenoids, and steroids. The book is useful for researchers, academicians, and industry experts in microbiology and biotechnology.

Key Points: 1. Discusses the role of microbial enzymes in functional food and nutraceutical production 2. Covers a range of enzymes like proteases, pullulanases, lipases 3. Explores various microbial sourcess and processing techniques 4. Reviews application of enzymes in synthesis of chiral drug intermediates 5. Examines molecular techniques on improving microbial enzymes properties and ability
