The mechanical-thermal pre-treatment was performed by applying the extrusion technique. Extruded CPBPs (14, 16, and 18% moisture) were further biodegraded with <i>Lactiplantibacillus plantarum-LUHS122</i> (Lpl), <i>Liquorilactobacillus uvarum-LUHS245</i> (Lu), <i>Lacticaseibacillus casei-LUHS210</i> (Lc), and <i>Lacticaseibacillus paracasei-LUHS244</i> (Lpa). Acidity parameters, microbial characteristics, sugars concentration, amino and fatty acids profile, biogenic amines (BA), and antibacterial and antifungal properties of CPBP were analyzed. Fermented CPBP had a reduced count of mould/yeast.
