Abstract Leuconostoc citreum is a type of heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria that have garnered attention due to their ability to produce a variety of functional substances. The bacteria themselves also possess excellent fermentation and flocculation capabilities. This paper reviewed the current research progress of L. citreum, both domestically and internationally. The key functional substances synthesized, including exopolysaccharides, enzymes, mannitol, and bacteriocins, as well as the applications of the bacteria themselves as the starter culture, microbial flocculant, and probiotic in the fields of food processing and agricultural production were summarized. This study systematically analyzed the current challenges and developmental bottlenecks hindering the industrial application of L. citreum and explores prospective research directions, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for its further development and industrial utilization.

Key words： Leuconostoc citreum Food additive Feed additive Natural flocculant Fermentation
