ABSTRACT
Precision fermentation involves the rewiring of metabolic pathways in generally recognized as safe microorganisms, fermentation scale-up, and downstream processing to produce food ingredients from abundant and inexpensive substrates. Using precise genome editing of food-fermenting microorganisms, precision fermentation can also produce fermented foods with more desirable properties. These genetic tools allow for the manipulation of flavors and nutritional content in fermented foods, the economic production of functional food ingredients, and the sustainable production of otherwise-costly macronutrients. By introducing the metabolic designs, genetic modifications, and resulting products of engineered microorganisms developed through academic and industrial research, this review aims to provide insights into the potentials and challenges of precision fermentation for the economic, safe, and sustainable production of foods.
