Abstract: The antioxidant activity of lactic acid bacteria has been demonstrated in multiple in vivo and in vitro experiments. Lactic acid bacteria play an important role in chelating metal ions, scavenging free radicals, regulating the redox system and regulating the related signal pathways. The development of natural antioxidants and anti-aging agents from lactic acid bacteria is becoming a hot topic in various fields of research. In this paper, we review the current status of studies on the antioxidant activity of lactic acid bacteria with focus on its regulation system, evaluation systems and application in foods. Furthermore, future development trend is discussed.

Key words: lactic acid bacteria, antioxidant activity, regulation system, evaluation system
