Metabolomics-Guided Fermentation of Tropical Agricultural Byproducts: Linking Microbial Biotransformation to Bioactive Function and Circular Ingredient Development
Agricultural and agro-industrial byproducts from tropical crops represent abundant sources of structurally bound and freely extractable bioactive compounds. However, variability in feedstock composition, the incomplete characterization of microbial transformations, and limited translation beyond chemical antioxidant as...
