Fruits are recognized as healthy foods with abundant nutritional content. However, due to their high content of sugar and water, they are easily contaminated by microorganisms leading to spoilage. Probiotic fermentation is an effective method to prevent fruit spoilage. In addition, during fermentation, the probiotics can react with the nutrients in fruits to produce new derived compounds, giving the fruit specific flavor, enhanced color, active ingredients, and nutritional values. Noteworthy, the choice of fermentation strains and strategies has a significant impact on the quality of fermented fruits. Thus, this review provides comprehensive information on the fermentation strains (especially yeast, lactic acid bacteria, and acetic acid bacteria), fermentation strategies (natural or inoculation fermentation, mono- or mixed-strain inoculation fermentation, and liquid- or solid-state fermentation), and the effect of fermentation on the shelf life, flavor, color, functional components, and physiological activities of fruits. This review will provide a theoretical guidance for the production of fermented fruits.
