Interactions, transformation, and functionality: Lactic acid bacteria fermentation of egg liquid as a novel food matrix.
Review in Food chemistry: X, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Eggs are predominantly consumed as basic food ingredients, with limited application in value-added products. Lactic acid bacteria fermentation offers a promising strategy to transform egg matrices into functional food ingredients. This review provides a comprehensive and critical overview of how LAB drives substrate consumption-including proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates-generates bioactive metabolites such as organic acids, flavor compounds, and free amino acids, and induces structural rearrangements in egg proteins at both macroscopic and molecular levels. These changes collectively improve functional properties including solubility, texture, rheology, emulsifying capacity, and foaming stability via mechanisms involving proteolysis, pH-driven aggregation, and redox balance. Importantly, fermentation outcomes are highly condition-dependent-the direction and extent of changes depend on substrate composition, protein concentration, pH, and strain selection. By integrating substrate transformations, structural modifications, and functional outcomes into a unified framework, this review provides mechanistic insights for developing LAB-fermented egg products with enhanced quality and health-promoting potential.
