Starter cultures are an essential component of nearly all commercially produced fermented foods. Simply defined, starter cultures consist of microorganisms that are inoculated directly into food materials in order to bring about desired and predictable changes in the finished product. These changes may include enhanced preservation, improved nutritional value, modified sensory qualities, and increased economic value.

Although many fermented foods can be made without a starter culture, the addition of concentrated microorganisms, in the form of a starter culture, provides a basis for insuring that products are manufactured on a consistent schedule, with consistent product qualities.
