Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Objectives: Intakes of live microbe-containing fermented foods may stimulate short-term gut microbiome changes and immune responses. Current research is limited by a lack of validated tools to assess fermented food intake. This study aims to develop and validate a dietary assessment tool that estimates the 7-day intakes of live microbe-containing fermented foods.
