“…As a consequence, the demand for minimally processed foods and “cleaner” labels is rising, and the research into new and efficient natural antimicrobials is growing in importance [ 5 , 23 ]. During lactic acid fermentation, LAB are able to produce different compounds exerting antimicrobial activity [ 15 , 16 , 17 ] such as hydrogen peroxide, CO 2 , peptides or proteins, bacteriocins, ethanol, acids such as acid, benzoic, sorbic, and citric lactic, and diacetyl, and their antimicrobial activity may be exerted via the combined action of different metabolites on undesirable bacteria [ 24 ]. Furthermore, some phenolic compounds, well documented in the literature for their antimicrobial activity, are naturally present in raw substrates, but their content can be implemented during lactic acid fermentation [ 25 ].…”
