Abstract

Microorganisms have a significant impact on the fermentation processes and health advantages of dairy products. Certain microbial strains are necessary for the fermentation, flavor, and nutritional value enhancement of traditional dairy products including kefir, cheese, and yoghurt. Yeasts, molds, and lactic acid bacteria are necessary for the transformation of lactose to lactic acid, which causes milk to coagulate and produce distinctive smells and textures. Recent developments in synthetic biology, fermentation technology, and microbial genetics have created new opportunities to improve the functioning and quality of dairy products. The present function of microbes in dairy production is examined in this review, with particular attention paid to their use in fermentation, probiotic production, and sustainability. The creation of new probiotic strains, the use of genetically modified microorganisms to produce dairy substitutes, and the application of microbes for more effective and sustainable dairy farming methods are some prospects. The future of the dairy business is expected to be significantly shaped by microbial innovation as customer demand for healthier, more sustainable dairy products increases.
