Our speaker for January is Professor Maria Marco from the Department of Food Science and Technology at UC Davis. She studies microorganisms and their relationships with food and health. Abstract: Fermented foods are currently the #1 health food trend. What are fermented foods exactly? What is
the hype all about? How are fermented foods different from probiotic foods? Based on what has been discovered about the human gut microbiota, how can we use the microbes in our diet to promote health? This talk will cover
these questions and address what remains to be done in this emerging area of microbiome science. Please join us for this informative talk.
