Kombucha is a functional beverage with a slightly sweet and sour taste produced through fermentation using a SCOBY. This study aimed to develop a kombucha beverage based on butterfly pea flower (Clitoria ternatea) with the addition of red dragon fruit peel (Hylocereus costaricensis) as a probiotic drink rich in antioxidants. Butterfly pea flower contains high levels of antioxidants, while red d…
Free radicals are reactive molecular species that are formed during various metabolic processes in living organisms. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are one type of free radical that can induce oxidative stress & contribute to the development of diabetes mellitus (DM). The projected increase in the global prevalence of DM highlights the importance of early intervention through dietary modificatio…
Kombucha is known as a functional drink that contains various vitamins, minerals, enzymes and organic acids. This drink is mostly made from fermented tea and can be combined with other ingredients. This study aimed to produce a combination kombucha of soursop leaves (Annona muricata L.) and mangosteen peel (Garcinia mangostana L.). This study determines the content of secondary metabolite compo…
Tea can be processed into kombucha through a fermentation process. Kombucha is made by fermenting a solution of black tea, sugar and a kombucha culture called SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast). One of the innovations in kombucha processing is the combination with avocado seeds (Persea americana Mill.) and bay leaves (Syzygium polyanthum (Wight.)) in the second fermentation. This s…
Kombucha is a fermented beverage of green tea or black tea using SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast). Kombucha provides benefits for stimulating the immune system, improving digestive tract function and preventing microbial infections due to the presence of antibacterial compounds. Antibacterial activity can be enhanced by utilizing secondary metabolites in fruits such as apple (Mal…
