Fermentation is one of the most economical and safe methods to improve the nutritional value, sensory quality and functional characteristics of raw materials, and it is also an important method for cereal processing. This paper reviews the effects of microbial fermentation on cereals, focusing on their nutritional value and health benefits, including the effects of fermentation on the protein, starch, phenolic compounds contents, and other nutrient components of cereals. The bioactive compounds produced by fermented cereals have positive effects on health regulation. Finally, the future market development of fermented cereal products is summarized and prospected.

The rising global demand for nutritious, sustainable, and plant-based beverages has catalyzed interest in pseudocereal-based products, offering an innovative alternative to traditional cereals. Pseudocereals such as quinoa, buckwheat, and amaranth are valued for their exceptional nutritional profiles, including high-quality proteins, dietary fibers, and bioactive compounds. This review explores the development of pseudocereal-based beverages, emphasizing their potential as milk alternatives, fermented drinks, and beer products.

Sorghum is a major ingredient used in the production of complementary foods in Kenya's drylands, particularly in areas like Kerio Valley. However, it is known to be susceptible to aflatoxin and fumonisin contamination, which have adverse effects on human health. The current study aimed to assess the levels of aflatoxin and fumonisin in sorghum kernels and flour from Kerio Valley and to investigate whether fermentation (spontaneous or innoculum facilated) could reduce the levels of toxins.

Microbial fermentation is an effective method to improve the functional activity of oats (Avena sativa L.), while there are some limitations to the advantages of single microbial fermentation. In this study, a microbial co-culture fermentation system with Monascus anka, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Bacillus subtilis to release and conversion oat phenolics was established.

In view of the increasing demand for plant-based protein alternatives, along with the increased protein requirements of older adults, the formulation of new food concepts based on protein-rich ingredients from legumes or pseudo-cereals seems a promising approach. Previous studies have found that solid-state fermentation can improve the nutritional value and digestibility of plant-based commodities; however, scarce evidence exists regarding the effect on prebiotic potential. This study aimed to compare the effect of fermented and unfermented quinoa and lentil flours on the colonic microbiota, as well as that of new food prototypes (gels and breads) made with the flours.
