World-wide, the diversity of cereal and pseudo-cereal fermentation
represents an important opportunity to develop foods more
able to satisfy different needs. In developing countries, traditional
cereal-based fermented foods are staple foods and often used as
weaning foods for infant and young children but they are still
produced at household level or on small industrial scale (Kalui
et al., 2010). In developing countries, the increasing interest for
local cereals and pseudo-cereals, from consumers and small enterprises
as well, demonstrates the possibility for the development
of good quality products. These grains have received some attention
from consumers of western countries and show a huge potential
for wider use
