Precision Fermentation Processes for Producing Novel Foods and Its Sustainable Applications

Precision fermentation is rapidly transforming sustainable food production by enabling the controlled biosynthesis of ingredients that are resource-intensive or difficult to obtain through conventional agriculture. This review provides a system-level synthesis that integrates microbial strain design, bioprocess engineering, techno-economic feasibility, environmental performance, and regulatory readiness within a unified framework, addressing gaps left by prior product- or organism-focused reviews. Guided by PRISMA guidelines, literature published between 2010 and 2025 was systematically retrieved from Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and Google Scholar. A total of 154 records were identified, of which 42…
