List of amylase-induced fermentations

(Redirected from Saliva-fermented beverages)

This is a list of amylase-induced fermentations. Saliva can be used as a source of the enzyme amylase to break down complex sugars into simple sugars. These simple sugars can then undergo fermentation by microorganisms. Dual fermentation refers to fermentation by more than one microorganism.[1] Amylase-induced fermented drinks are often made from cassava.
