History and Types of Fermentation

Fermentation is a metabolic process where sugar is converted into acids, gases or alcohol by yeasts or bacteria. It occurs naturally in oxygen-starved muscle cells during lactic acid fermentation. Fermentation has been used for thousands of years to produce foods and beverages like beer, wine, bread, cheese and other dairy products. The process allows for the preservation of foods while creating beneficial bacteria and enzymes. Modern industrial fermentation is used to produce pharmaceuticals, chemicals and food additives. Yakult Philippines produces the probiotic drink Yakult using the lactic acid bacterium Lactobacillus casei Shirota in a highly controlled and sanitized production facility in Calamba, Laguna.

Foods that have


been through a
process of
lactofermentation.

Preserves the
food, and creates
beneficial
enzymes, bvitamins, Omega3 fatty acids, and
various strains of
probiotics.

Natural
fermentation of
foods has also
been shown to
preserve nutrients
in food and break
the food down to
a more digestible
form

This, along with the


bevy of probiotics
created during the
fermentation
process, could
explain the link
between
consumption of
fermented foods and
improved digestion
