This book presents the trends in research on fermented foods, introducing successful cases related to the fermentation of foods in restaurants, ideas for popularizing fermented foods among the population, as well as pioneering and inspiring initiatives aimed at regulating the production and marketing of fermented foods. Fermentation has been used for thousands of years to produce a variety of foods. In the last decades, research has been increasingly devoted to the study of fermented food’s microbiome, unraveling the main aspects of the ecology of bacteria, fungi, and viruses and their impacts on product quality. Recently, research focused on the functionality of fermented foods, which has shown health benefits associated with their consumption. The science of food fermentation has evolved very quickly, mainly from the development of omic-based approaches widely used in studies around the world. Thus, despite the vast content about the microbiology of bioprocesses used in the production of fermented foods and beverages, novel insights are constantly provided by research in the area.

About the Author

Guilherme is a Biologist graduated from S�o Paulo State University (UNESP, Brazil) with a Master and PhD in Food Science and Technology from “Luiz de Queiroz” College of Agriculture (ESALQ / USP, Brazil). He was visiting researcher at Agriculture and Food Development Authority (TEAGASC, Ireland) in 2021-2022. Currently, Guilherme is Associated Professor at Department of Microbiology, Federal University of Vi�osa (UFV, Brazil) and advisor in the Agricultural Microbiology Graduate Program (PPGMBA/UFV). Guilherme is the head of the Microbiology of Fermented Products Laboratory (FERMICRO), whose researchers’ team have been investigating the microbiome of a large range of fermented products, such as artisanal cheeses, kombucha, sourdough breads, alcoholic beverages, among others, including initiatives for development of biomaterials based on bacterial and fungi for industrial application. Besides that, he is coordinator of the Microbiology of Fermented Foods Research Group at UFV (CNPq). In 2022, Guilherme published the book “Microbiologia de Alimentos Fermentados”, the first textbook in Portuguese focused on fermented foods (Bl�cher Publisher). He is the developer of the board game "Col�nia" aimed at teaching the microbiology of bioprocesses for food production. Finally, Guilherme is the creator and coordinator of the itinerant science project named “Fermenta M�vel”, financed by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovations (MCTI) of the Federal Government of Brazil, focused on the popularizing of fermented foods’ health benefits.

Consequences of the revocation

If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.

We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
