To differentiate from traditional flavored coffee, a novel concept of health-oriented flavored coffee enriched with functional ingredients is proposed. Among these ingredients, bioactive peptides (BAPs) derived from defatted oilseed meals (also known as edible oil cake) have gained attention due to their potential health benefits. These BAPs, obtained through fermentation with food-grade lactic acid bacteria (LAB), are increasingly popular as consumer interest in health-conscious products grows. LAB fermentation not only enhances peptide bioactivity but also generates a range of beneficial metabolites, including prebiotics (e.g., organic acids, amino acids, BAPs, and bacteriocins) and probiotics (live or inactivated LAB). Incorporating these LAB-derived metabolites into coffee presents an opportunity to improve both sensory properties and functional value. Prior to focusing on their probiotic or prebiotic effects and their influence on gut microbiota and host health, it is essential to validate their bioactivities through in vitro and in vivo studies. Additionally, assessing the stability of these metabolites under conditions such as gastrointestinal digestion, varying pH, heat, and salt concentrations is critical to ensure their efficacy and safety in coffee applications.
