Abstract

Kombucha je tradicionalni osvježavajući napitak koji se pripravlja fermentacijom čaja, uz dodatak šećera i simbiotički združene kulture bakterija octene kiseline i kvasaca. Ovaj se napitak stoljećima intenzivno konzumira diljem cijelog svijeta zbog svojih profilaktičkih i terapeutskih svojstava. U ovom su radu pripremljene infuzije čaja aronije, kadulje i lista masline (40 g/L), zaslađene sa 70 g/L saharoze, te fermentirane pomoću kombuche tijekom 18 dana pri 25 oC. Uočeno je da su promjene pH... More vrijednosti bile povezane s simbiotskim metaboličkim aktivnostima kvasaca i bakterija octene kiseline. Debljina i prinos bakterijske celuloze povećala se tijekom fermentacije. Uočena je antimikrobna aktivnost kombuche na Gram-pozitivne i Gram-negativne bakterije (Streptococcus aureus, Escherichia coli i Salmonella faecalis), no ne i na kvasac Candida albicans. Less

Abstract (english)

Kombucha is a traditional refreshing beverage obtained by the fermentation of sugared tea with a powerful symbiosis of acetic bacteria and yeasts. This drink has been intensively consumed during a long time worldwide for its prophylactic and therapeutic properties. In this present study, the tea broths produced with aronia, sage and olive leaf (40 g/L) were fermented naturally at 25 oC with kombucha over a period of up to 18 days in the presence of 70 g/L sucrose. Changes in pH were related... More to the symbiotic metabolic activities of yeasts and acetic acid bacteria. The thickness and yield of bacterial cellulose increased with fermentation time. Antimicrobial activities was observed in the fermented samples against the tested Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms (Streptococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella faecalis), but Candida albicans was not inhibited by kombucha.
