Description | Kombucha, also known as tea mushroom, tea fungus, or Manchurian mushroom. It is a natural probiotic beverage made from tea (black tea, green tea, pu-erh tea or oolong tea) base, sugar, water, bacteria and yeast through fermentation. Symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY), which is fermented through a symbiotic relationship between Acetobacter and yeast, is steeped in tea water with added sugar (glycolysis) and fermented continuously for one to two weeks. This beverage is rich in probiotics, digestive enzymes, organic acids, B vitamins, antioxidants and trace minerals, and is popular for its range of potential health benefits. The main strains of black tea bacteria include yeast, acetate and lactic acid bacteria. The yeast components usually include Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Brettanomyces bruxellensis, Candida stellata, Schizosaccharomyces pombe , and Bayer's joint yeast (Zygosaccharomyces bailii), which are responsible for fermenting the sugars added to the tea substrate, thereby producing alcohol and providing some special flavors. The bacterial component usually contains Gluconacetobacter xylinus, which is responsible for breaking down the alcohol to produce acetic acid. As a result, the concentration of alcohol in kampot tea is not too high, while the flavor is sweet and sour. |
Function | Kombucha has a variety of potential health benefits.
