Abstract: = 0.4085). Our findings revealed significant enrichment of metabolites and pathways associated with AA metabolism and ABC transporters throughout fermentation. Substantial differences in metabolomic profiles were noted between the start (0 h) and end (60 h) of fermentation, marked by an increase in health-promoting metabolites and nutrients, including essential AA, short-chain fatty acids, organic acids, and purines (variable importance in projection score >1). This study elucidates the dynamic changes in the metabolome during ProSci-92 milk fermentation, providing valuable insights into metabolomic transformations over extended fermentation periods. The findings underscore the potential of ProSci-92 as a beneficial starter culture for enhancing the nutritional and health-promoting attributes of fermented milk beverages.
