And what current trends are you seeing in the industry when it comes to fermented foods? GUEST: There's a growing interest in artisanal fermented products, from craft beers to small-batch sauerkraut. People are becoming more aware of the benefits of probiotics and are seeking out these live cultures in their food. HOST: It seems like there could be challenges in terms of consistency and safety with artisanal fermentation. How do you address those issues in your course?

We also emphasize the importance of standardized recipes and procedures to ensure consistency. HOST: Looking forward, where do you see the field of fermented foods heading? GUEST: I believe we'll continue to see increased demand for fermented options, especially as consumers become more health-conscious. There's also potential for new product development, particularly in the area of plant-based ferments. HOST: Dr. Smith, thank you so much for sharing your insights with us today.
