Book Description
The process of fermentation reportedly dates back to the early 7000-6600 BCE and was primarily used as a part of religious rituals in both the Christian and Jewish faiths. The first confirmed practice however, ensued from the study of yeast in 1838. The conclusion to date being that this process of fermentation is produced by the actions of living microorganisms. The most common of definition purports that the process speaks to the production of alcoholic or acidic liquids such as beer and wine or simply the process by which microorganisms result in the spoilage of food items. This book intends to explore the concept that is fermentation and will use this medium to expand the knowledge base surrounding the process.

Book Description
The age-old practice of food fermentation is enjoying a well-earned renaissance. As knowledge around the importance of our gut microbiota has grown, so too has the evidence that fermented foods can help support a healthy gastrointestinal tract, boost the immune system and even improve mood. This is due to both the probiotic microbes they contain, and the enhanced nutritional value of fermented foods themselves. In this comprehensive guide, fermentation specialist Caroline Gilmartin delves into the processes and mechanisms involved in both wild and cultured fermentation, examining the microbes involved, parameters for optimal fermentation and what happens if you alter them. Topics covered include the importance of the microbiota; gut health; milk and water kefir; yoghurt; kombucha; vegetable fermentations; appetizing recipes; suggested flavour combinations and finally, safety measures and troubleshooting.
