Book Details
About this book:

The Science of Fermentation Unlock the hidden world of microbes that turn everyday ingredients into flavor‑packed powerhouses. *The Science of Fermentation* takes you from the biochemical basics of lactic acid and alcoholic fermentations to the vibrant traditions of kimchi, kombucha, miso, sourdough, and beyond—explaining exactly which bacteria, yeasts, and molds are at work, how they transform taste and texture, and why these ancient foods are modern‑day health allies.
