Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microorganisms have been used in food technology for centuries, such as, for example, in fermentation processes. More and more fungal metabolites are being researched and can be used in the food industry. These include exopolysaccharides that can be used in the design of edible coatings and pigments (which have coloring, but also antimicrobial and antioxidant functions). Increasingly, microbial proteins are also used as an ingredient in plant-based food to supplement products with essential exogenous amino acids. The purpose of this Special Issue is to collect new research, as well as to review the current knowledge, on fungal metabolites that can be used in food technology.
