See full technique reference →These processes rely on the metabolic conversion of sugars by lactic acid bacteria, yeasts, and molds into acids, alcohols, and flavor compounds such as 5′‑IMP. Precise temperature control and time management balance acid production, microbial viability, and safety, while mitigating over‑acidity and contamination.
