Although the application of LAB in dairy foods has been
widely explored, CW is an innovative matrix for the application
of this microbial group.The aim of this work was to develop
an innovative fermented beverage using CW as the main ingredient
which would also be functional due to its intrinsic
health properties and natural hydrating qualities. CW can be
used as a new non-dairy functional beverage, especially by vegetarians
and lactose intolerant consumers.
