Role of Microbes in different wine production  Microbial production of Beverage  Photo/Unsplash  Advanced biotechnology plays a significant role in food and beverage production, particularly in the major industry sector. An important area within biotechnology is Food Biotechnology, which focuses on improving food products’ quality, nutritional consistency, color, safety, and preservation. Alcoholic beverages are produced worldwide, and historical evidence suggests that the fermentation of grains dates back to as early as 4000 B.C.
