ABSTRACT

Fruit and vegetable fermented beverages, a functional non-dairy fermented product, are popular worldwide due to their health-promoting attributes. It is reported that a variety of nutrients and chemical composition are found in fruit and vegetable fermented beverages, and health-promoting effects also have been reported. In addition, the quality and consumer acceptance of products is largely affected by probiotics starter, fermentation process, juice sterilization process and beverage enhancements. Considering the extensive reports on fruit and vegetable fermented beverages, the summary of these aspects is rare and not comprehensive enough. In view of this, we realized that it is necessary to update influencing factors of the quality and consumer acceptance of fruit and vegetable fermented beverages and some of the technologies involved, as well as nutrients, chemical properties and health benefits. Based on recent developments, it can be anticipated that fruit and vegetable fermented beverages will continue to be an important part of the functional food market.
