CULTIVATION OF TEA FUNGUS ON MALT EXTRACT MEDIUM
By Dragoljub D. Cvetkovi, Sinia L. Markov
The possibility of application of malt extract as a source of carbohydrate in a medium for tea fungus was investigated. The beverage obtained on such a medium was compared with that prepared in a traditional way with sucrose medium. The presence of easily adoptable sugars, glucose, and ...

DIFFERENT TEMPERATURES SELECT DISTINCTIVE ACETIC ACID BACTERIA SPECIES AND PROMOTES ORGANIC ACIDS PRODUCTION DURING KOMBUCHA TEA FERMENTATION
By Francesca De Filippis, Antonio Dario Troise, Paola Vitaglione, Danilo Ercolini
Kombucha is a traditional beverage produced by tea fermentation, carried out by a symbiotic consortium of bacteria and yeasts. Acetic Acid Bacteria (AAB) usually dominate the bacterial community of Kombucha, driving the fermentative process. The consumption of this beverage was often associated ...

EVALUATION OF PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITIES OF KOMBUCHA "TEA FUNGUS" DURING EXTENDED PERIODS OF FERMENTATION
By Hashani Amarasinghe, Nimsha S Weerakkody, Viduranga Y Waisundara
Kombucha fermentation is traditionally carried out by inoculating a previously grown tea fungal mat into a freshly prepared tea broth and incubating under aerobic conditions for 7-10 days. In this study, four kombucha beverages were prepared by placing the tea fungal mats in sugared Sri Lankan ...

L-LACTIC, L-ASCORBIC, TOTAL AND VOLATILE ACIDS CONTENTS IN DIETETIC KOMBUCHA BEVERAGE
By Radomir V. Malbaa, Eva S. Lonar, Ljiljana A. Kolarov
Kombucha or tea fungus is a symbiosis of osmophilic yeasts and acetic acid bacteria. After about 7 days, this symbiosis converts a very simple substrate, sucrose, and black tea, in a slightly carbonated, acidic, refreshing beverage with high pharmaceutical and nutritional value. Inulin is a ...
