From soil to fermentation to the microbes in our mouths, microorganisms shape how we experience flavour. In cereal-based foods, these tiny communities influence taste, aroma, and nutrition—revealing that flavour is as much a product of microbes as of ingredients.

What is the context of studying the wheat and soil microbiome, and what is the purpose of using microorganisms? In the face of climate change, the relevance of EU strategies that promote sustainable production is becoming increasingly clear. The concept of “sustainable production” refers to the entire production chain, from agriculture to consumers, and it

Sustainability in wheat cultivation has, in recent years, ceased to be an ideal and has become something tangible. In the EU, where more than 20 million hectares of this cereal are cultivated, scientific research and public policies are converging to transform the way wheat is grown, with the aim of preserving natural resources, improving productivity,

Microbes play a vital role in how we grow and produce food, preserve nutrients, and reduce waste. These microorganisms—bacteria, fungi, and others—form microbiomes, which are natural communities found in soil, plants, animals, and even the human body. In soils and the gut, for example, they help make nutrients more available and stable—supporting plant growth and
Wheat grain is milled to produce flour, and leftovers of the process are wheat germ and wheat bran. Bran contains the toughest parts of the seed, with high fibre content, around 45 % (Fardet, 2010). Because of this, wheat bran is hard to digest, even for animals (Leo et al. 2012). Within the Wheatbiome project,

Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition triggered by gluten in genetically predisposed individuals. Gluten, found in grains like wheat, rye, and barley, is also added to processed foods. With rising cases and limited treatment options, the WHEATBIOME project aims to improve grain production and food processing to enhance the quality of life for those affected.
