Resumen:

Fermented foods and beverages have been historically linked to human civilization, their major distinctive feature relying upon metabolites such as alcohol or lactic acid commonly associated with preservation. Although the evolution of human microbiota is a complex question to address, modern biotechnology has demonstrated the role of fermented foods in its establishment and stability. Based on the role of fructans in human nutrition, through plants but also by consumption of traditional fermented products associated with local diets all over the world, we propose the concept of the ?Fructan Link? (in complement to The Fructan Syndrome), to consider the role of fructans in the establishment of a diverse and beneficial microbiota in humans. To provide evidence for this hypothesis, we review here, using a genome mining approach, the actual and potential presence of fructans in traditional fermented foods. © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
