Exploring alcoholic and acetic fermentations of Ceri Terengganu (Lepisanthes fruticosa): physicochemical and bioactive compound changes

Ceri Terengganu (Lepisanthes fruticosa), an underutilized exotic fruit native to Malaysia, has been overlooked due to limited cultivation and low economic value. This study aimed to highlight the potential of Ceri Terengganu by exploring its alcoholic fermentation using Saccharomyces cerevisiae and its acetic fermentation using Acetobacter aceti. The feasibility of using Ceri Terengganu as a substrate in both fermentations was examined, along with the physicochemical, antioxidant activity, and...
