K11662 Microbiolog y “ … recommended … extremely useful … a welcome addition to many libraries.” —International Dairy Journal “ … an invaluable reference text … written in an easy-to-read style, making it eminently suitable for both postgraduate students and general food scientists.” —Food Australia While lactic acid–producing fermentation has long been used to improve the storability, palatability, and nutritive value of perishable foods, only recently have we begun to understand just why it works. Since the publication of the third edition of Lactic Acid Bacteria: Microbiological and Functional Aspects, substantial progress has been made in a number of areas of research. Completely updated, the Fourth Edition covers all the basic and applied aspects of lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria, from the gastrointesti- nal tract to the supermarket shelf. Topics discussed in the new edition include: • Revised taxonomy due to improved insights in genetics and new molecular biological techniques • New discoveries related to the mechanisms of lactic acid bacterial metabolism and function • An improved mechanistic understanding of probiotic functioning • Applications in food and feed preparation • Health properties of lactic acid bacteria • The regulatory framework related to safety and efficacy Maintaining the accessible style that made previous editions so popular, this book is ideal as an introduction to the field and as a handbook for microbiolo- gists, food scientists, nutritionists, clinicians, and regulatory experts.

Due to the accumulation of new findings during the seven years that has passed since the previous update, practically all chapters are either completely rewritten or are totally new. We (the editors) and the contributors have strived to reach a proper balance between the well-established “eternal truths” and the novel and even controversial findings. While keeping the format of individual chapters as reviews, a certain compromise between comprehen- siveness and readability has been aimed at in order to avoid an excessive length and too massive a size of the volume. In addition to purely scientific aspects related to lactic acid bacteria and their applications, the regulatory framework related to their safety and efficacy, particularly in probiotic use, has also been reviewed. We hope that the book will find its audience both as an introduction to the field for an advanced student and as a handbook for microbiologists, food scientists, nutri- tionists, clinicians, and regulatory experts. e editors are indebted to Dr. Anna Lyra for skillful and tireless help with the editorial process.
