Fermented foods are attracting increasing interest due to their nutritional and health benefits, including a positive impact on gut microbiota exerted by their associated microbes. However, information relative to traditional fermented dairy products, along with their autochthonous microbiota, is still fragmented and poorly standardized. Therefore, our aim was to collect and aggregate data useful for obtaining a comprehensive overview translated in a classical database interface that can be easily handled by users.
a preliminary inventory was built up by systematically collecting data from publicly available resources for the creation of a list of traditional dairy foods produced worldwide, including additional metadata useful for stratifying, and collapsing subgroups.
we developed the Fermented Dairy Food Database (FDF-DB), a feasible resource comprising 1852 traditional dairy foods (cheeses, fermented milks, and yogurt) for which microbial content and other associated metadata such as geographical indication label, country/region of origin, technological aspects were gathered.
FDF-DB is a useful and user-friendly resource where taxonomic information and processing production details converge. This resource will be of great aid for researchers, food industries, stakeholders and any user interested in the identification of technological and microbiological features characterizing traditional fermented dairy products.
发酵食品因其营养价值和健康益处而受到越来越多的关注，包括其相关微生物对肠道微生物群的积极影响。然而，与传统发酵乳制品及其本土微生物群相关的信息仍然零散且缺乏标准化。因此，我们的目的是收集和汇总有用的数据，以便在一个经典的数据库界面中获得全面的概述，该界面可以方便用户使用。
通过系统地从公开资源中收集数据，创建了一个在全球范围内生产的传统乳制品列表，包括用于分层和折叠子组的其他元数据，从而建立了一个初步的清单。
我们开发了发酵乳制品数据库（FDF-DB），这是一个可行的资源，其中包含 1852 种传统乳制品（奶酪、发酵乳和酸奶），其中收集了微生物含量和其他相关元数据，例如地理标志标签、原产国/地区、技术方面。
FDF-DB 是一个有用且用户友好的资源，其中汇集了分类信息和加工生产细节。该资源将极大地帮助研究人员、食品行业、利益相关者以及任何对鉴定传统发酵乳制品的技术和微生物特征感兴趣的用户。
