Unveiling the potential of lactic acid bacteria from Algerian dromedary camel milk: diversity, technological applications, and antimicrobial insights
Dromedary camel milk from Algerian semi-arid regions represents a rich source of LAB strains with promising technological and antimicrobial potential. These native isolates could be further developed for use in additive-free fermented foods and natural biopreservation systems, supporting sustainable and functional food innovation.
