Industrial microbiology is one branch of applied microbiology where microbes are used to produce important products such as metabolic manufacture, biotransformation, manufacture of energy (bio-fuels), management of organic and industrial wastes, manufacture of microbial biomass (microbial protein) for food and feed, manufacture of bio-control agents (antibiotics) and fermentation of food products. Microbial food processing is used to transform simple food into a value-added form with the assistance of microbes. In addition, it involves converting low-value, often inedible, perishable natural resources into high-value, safe food products. Since antiquity, mankind have used microbes to produce a variety of food products such as dairy products, bread, vinegar, wine and beer, as well as fermented seafood, meat and vegetables. There are many useful applications of microbes in the food processing industry, which have a strong influence on the quality and quantity of food. Recently, microbial approaches of food processing have garnered global attention as a workable method to food conservation and a good source of vital nutrients. Microbial contamination of food commodities typically occurs between the field and the processing plant or during processing, storage, transportation and distribution or prior to consumption. Consequently, microbes are being considered as very significant elements in food manufacturing, food quality maintenance and food safety. In this chapter, we focus on the beneficial roles of microorganisms, the applications of microorganisms in the food industry and the risks of microbial contamination.

“…The concept of probiotics has recently gained increasing popularity among numerous researchers and scientists. The reason for their popularity lies in certain health benefits they provide for numerous diseases such as obesity, diabetes, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, diarrhea, and so forth (Jain et al, 2021;Yadav et al, 2015). The probiotics are usually consumed in combination with "prebiotics," which serve as the food source for these probiotics.…”

Psychobiotics" are a novel class of probiotics that are beneficial to the health and functional efficiency of our brain and psychology. The main hold on command in ill conditions of the brain and psychology is overtaken by these psychobiotic bacteria (a dietary supplement) via the action/determined role of bacterial neurochemicals or neuroactive substances that are released by them in the intestinal epithelium after their ingestion. Although these psychobiotics flourish in the gut of the host consuming them, the effect is widely spread to the brain due to the communication between the gut and the brain via the bidirectional gut-brain axis. The nervous system involved in this directional process includes both the enteric nervous system and the central nervous system. With time, several corroborations have proved the effectiveness of psychobiotics in terms of mental illnesses and brain disorders. In the prevailing situation of the coronavirus pandemic, psychobiotics may serve as an aid because a majority of the population worldwide is already suffering from psychological issues due to changes in lifestyle and dietary habits, and in need of an immediate solution to cope with it. Moreover, the in silico approach is also vital for the development of biological relevance to neurosubstances.
