S. No | Fermented Food | Experimental Subjects | The Geographical Region of the Study | Assessments | Result | Ref. |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Tofu, tempeh, or tahoe and other genistein-containing foods | 115 elderly people (Age: 52–98 years old) | Indonesia (Borobudur) | Psychiatric assessment, depression scale based on the Cambridge Mental Disorder of the Elderly Examination | The consumption of soy-based FF improved the memory and cognitive function of middle-aged people but not the elderly people. There was no negative impact on the brain cells and cognitive function. | [30] |
2 | Lactobacillus helveticus IDCC3801 mediated fermented milk | Elderly people (Age: 60–75 years old) | Korea | Self-rating scales, Cognitive tests, and Biomarker analysis | The consumption of fermented milk improved the cognitive function of the elderly people. | [31] |
3 | L. helveticus CM4 mediated fermented milk | Healthy adults (middle age) | Japan | Neuropsychological assessment (repeatable battery for the assessment of neuropsychological status (RBANS) test) | The consumption of fermented milk improved the cognitive function of middle-aged healthy adults. | [32] |
4 | Probiotic milk (Bifidobacterium bifidum, L. casei, L. fermentum, L. acidophilus) | 60 Alzheimer’s disease patients (Age: 60–95 years old) | Iran | Cognitive assessment (mini-mental state examination (MMSE) test) | The consumption of probiotic milk improved the cognitive function of the Alzheimer’s disease patients. | [33] |
