Abstract

Millions of dollars have been increasingly spent on plant-based diets. Considering that
vitamin B12 is obtained from the consumption of animal-derived foods, new sources of
vitamin B12 and methods of food fortification are being eagerly sought. Therefore, this
work aims to evaluate advances in situ fermentation processes of food and beverages
produced on a large scale and industrial applications for obtaining cobalamin-rich

products. Bibliometric analysis was performed and revealed that several studies report a
great capacity for in situ biofortification of B12 in foods, mostly on the use of propionic
(PB) and lactic (LAB) bacteria. In this context, market potentials for such products, the
main microorganisms, including simultaneous cultures, and their respective applications
have been presented herein. Although knowledge on potential applications is still
limited, field research has been increasingly conducted, thus revealing scientific and
technological opportunities, both for the production and the stability of B12 found in
plant-based foods.
