BEE COLLECTED POLLEN WITH ENHANCED HEALTH BENEFITS, PRODUCED BY FERMENTATION WITH A KOMBUCHA CONSORTIUM
By Elena Utoiu, Florentina Matei, Agnes Toma, Camelia Filofteia Diguta, Laura Mihaela Stefan, Sorin Manoiu, Virgil Valeriu Vrajmasu, Ionut Moraru, Anca Oancea, Florentina Israel-Roming, Caina Pet
The bioavailability of pollen bioactive compounds for humans is limited. In this study, our aim was to enhance the health-related benefits of pollen by fermentation with a Kombucha/SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeasts) consortium. We performed the fermentation of pollen suspended ...

CLEARANCE OF FREE SILICA IN RAT LUNGS BY SPRAYING WITH CHINESE HERBAL KOMBUCHA
By Nai-fang Fu, Chang-hui Luo, Jun-cai Wu, Yan-yan Zheng, Yong-jin Gan, Jian-an Ling, Heng-qiu Liang, Dan-yu Liang, Jing Xie, Xiao-qin Chen, Xian-jun Li, Rui-hui Pan
The effects of spraying with kombucha and Chinese herbal kombucha were compared with treatments with tetrandrine in a rat silicosis model. Silica dust (50mg) was injected into the lungs of rats, which were then treated with one of the experimental treatments for a month. The rats were then ...

DOWNREGULATION OF SIGNALLING MOLECULES INVOLVED IN ANGIOGENESIS OF PROSTATE CANCER CELL LINE (PC-3) BY KOMBUCHA (LYOPHILIZED)
By Thummala Srihari, Ramachandran Arunkumar, Jagadeesan Arunakaran, Uppala Satyanarayana
Kombucha is a fermented tea beverage produced by fermenting sugared black tea with tea fungus (kombucha). Prostate cancer, like other solid tumors, is also angiogenesis-dependent. The development of prostate cancer is a multi-step process, advancing from high-grade prostatic intraepithelial ...

ENHANCEMENT OF BIOCELLULOSE PRODUCTIVITY THROUGH OPTIMIZATION OF CULTURAL CONDITIONS AND GAMMA RADIATION
By Mohamed M. Roushdy, Abbas A. El-Ghamery, Ali A. Hammad, Salwa A. Abou EL-Nour, Nasser H. Mohammad
The optimum fermentation conditions for the production of biocellulose (BC) by the isolated strain Komagataeibacter rhaeticus K were determined. The isolate gave the highest cellulose production when grown on glucose ethanol medium (GEM) and was able to produce cellulose at 20-35°C with a ...

GROWTH INHIBITION AND INDUCTION OF APOPTOSIS IN HUMAN BLADDER CANCER CELLS INDUCED BY FERMENTED CITRUS KOMBUCHA
By Chung-I Kim, Seung-Shick Shin, Sung-Soo Park
Kombucha is a slightly sour beverage fermented by symbiotic micro-organisms, including bacteria and yeasts. In this study, we examined the biological activities of citrus Kombucha (CK) produced by the addition of citrus extract to the original Kombucha (K). After fermentation for 10 days, ...

THE KOMBUCHA BIOFILM: A MODEL SYSTEM FOR MICROBIAL ECOLOGY
By Ashley Shade
Microbial systems are inherently complex and difficult to predict. A strong model system of naturally-occurring microbial consortia would provide an opportunity to address key questions in microbial ecology. Kombucha is a traditional, fermented tea produced by a biofilm of yeast and acetic acid ...
