dc.abstract.enThe agro-food industry produces large amounts of secondary by-products, which can act as a source of bio-active ingredients. These ingredients can be used as valuable additives to support the sustainable circular economy concept. This study aimed to analyze the potential application of horseradish and grapevine leaves in the fermentation process of low-salt pickled cucumbers to improve their sensory and functional properties. The pour plate technique, RT-qPCR, HPLC, and a nine-point hedonic scale test with penalty analysis were used to analyze the traditionally fermented product. The research showed that the addition of both horseradish and grapevine leaves did not negatively affect the kinetics of fermentation and had a positive effect on the overall desirability. Moreover, they contributed to an increase in the concentration of antioxidant compounds, namely gallic acid (grape leaves) and ellagic acid (grapevine and horseradish leaves). Bacterial metabiome analysis showed the positive effect of all analyzed additives on an increase in the relative expression of genes responsible for the synthesis of selected bacteriocins (plantaricin and acidocin). Research results indicated a high potential for sustainable use of by-products (horseradish and grapevine leaves) in the production of traditional low-salt fermented cucumbers with high health-promoting potential.
