In a recent article published in the journal LWT – Food Science and Technology, researchers investigated how controlled fermentation can improve the safety and nutritional value of black cabbage.
They found that fermentation significantly enhanced the antioxidant activity and polyphenol content of black cabbage, increased levels of health-supporting short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in yeast-fermented samples, introduced health-supporting compounds that…
