BACTERIAL CELLULOSE IN KOMBUCHA BY PURE CULTURES

By ZHOU Yan, TAN Li-li, TANG Xin-yun

Strains Gluconacetobacter hansenii CGMCC1671 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae CGMCC1670 were applied to make traditional Kombucha with pure cultures to search for the optimum parameters of major factors affecting the yields and productivities of bacterial cellulose(BC) in the beverage. Six cultural ...

DETERMINATION OF THE CURVE OF GLUCOSE CONSUMPTION OF KOMBUCHA BY HPLC AND OPTIMIZATION OF CULTURE MEDIUM

By Wen-li Tian, Bao-ping Ji, Bo Li, Hong Zhang

Gluconacetobacter sp. A22 was isolated from the symbiotic culture of Kombucha made in the lab. It could produce plenty of d-Saccharich acid 1,4 lactone. Glucose was determined with HPLC. The fermentation period was confirmed for 126hby the cure of glucose consumption (The flasks were incubated ...

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 ...

HYPOCHOLESTEROLAEMIC AND ANTIOXIDANT EFFECTS OF KOMBUCHA TEA IN HIGH-CHOLESTEROL FED MICE

By Zhiwei Yang, Baoping Ji, Feng Zhou, Bo Li, Yangchao Luo, Li Yang, Tao Li

Background: Traditional kombucha tea (TKT) is produced by mixed tea fungus. We previously proposed a Gluconacetobacter sp. A4 as the key functional strain in kombucha culture because it had a strong ability to produce D-saccharic acid-1,4-lactone (DSL, a crucial functional component in KT). ...
