Abstract: Lactic acid fermentation is a traditional method for vegetable processing in China. Fermented vegetables have gained extensive attention by consumers due to their unique flavor and abundant probiotics. However, the problem of nitrite accumulation was generated during fermentation process, which will reveal a negative impact on consumers’ health. Therefore, in this paper, the mechanisms for production and variation trends of nitrite during vegetable fermentation have been summarized. Moreover, the control technology for nitrite in fermented vegetables is also reviewed.

Key words: fermented vegetable, lactic acid bacteria fermentation, nitrite, regulation
