The present study was carried out to evaluate the protective role of kombucha mushroom (KM) tea on cytotoxicity induced by phenol (PHE) in mice. We used weight gain and micronucleus (MN) frequency as indicators of cytotoxicity and supported these parameters with pathological findings. The animals were randomly divided into seven groups: (Group I) only tap water (Group II) 1000 microl kg(-1) b. ...

The aim of this study was the investigation of the possibilities of direct determination of calcium, sodium and potassium in the commercial and kombucha-based fermented milk products by flame photometry. Two procedures were used for sample preparation: simple dilution with water (direct method) and extraction with mineral acid. Calcium, sodium and potassium levels determined after mentioned sam...

To enhance the effects of kombucha’s beneficial compounds and their functional properties, studies on kombucha fermentation using alternatives ingredients are needed. The aim this study was to formulate optimize hempseed as a high antioxidant, phenolic compound, protein contributor. An experimental central composite design (CCD) with response surface methodology (RSM) used for maximizing antiox...

Kombucha is a renowned fermented drink for its diverse health benefits. This research aims to evaluate sweetened red ginger extract as an alternative substrate in making kombucha by observing the chemical properties (pH, total acid, sugar, polyphenol, compound profile using LC-MS/MS) and antioxidant activity. Three variables were varied, i.e., concentration (1, 5, 10%), culture (10 20%), fermen...

Kombucha as a tea-based fermented beverage has become progressively widespread, mainly in the functional food market, because of health-improving benefits.

Background and Purpose: Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic and recurrent superficial dermatitis in which Malassezia species play an important role. There are different Malassezia species, which have been recently reported to be resistant to common antifungals. Natural sources can be useful alternatives to reduce the emergence of this resistance. Kombucha tea is believed to have potential antimi...

Currently, the search for natural antimicrobial agents has increased. Thereat, plant extracts, products of fermentative processes, and microbial growth have been tested. Kombucha is a fermented beverage that resulted from fermentation infusion Camellia sinensis. There are reports about biological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, digestibility, antioxidant, antimicrobial, others. The study...
