Kombucha is a black tea-based, non-alc. beverage fermented by yeast and bacteria are known for its refreshing scent and taste and presents biol. characteristics, namely antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity. The present study compared traditional kombucha prepared with black tea and green tea to kombuchas produced with several alternative substrates, including white tea, chrysanthemum, honeysuckle, and mint infusions. Throughout the fermentation process, liquid and gas chromatog. analyzed sugars, ethanol, organic acids, and volatile compounds Sugar consumption was substrate-dependent, with mint kombucha having the highest amount of residual sugar and honeysuckle having the lowest. Forty-six volatile organic compounds were detected, including alcs., esters, acids, aldehydes, ketones, and other compounds Twenty-two compounds were produced during the fermentation and identified in all kombuchas; some of these compounds represented fruity and floral aromas. Another 24 compounds were substrate specific. Notably, the herb-based kombuchas (chrysanthemum, honeysuckle, and mint) contained several compounds absent in the tea-based kombuchas and are associated with minty, cooling, and refreshing aromas. Mint and green tea kombucha attained the highest and lowest overall sensorial acceptance ratings, resp. This study demonstrated herbal substrates’ suitability to prepare kombucha gastronomically with volatile compound and flavor profiles distinct from tea-based kombuchas. The kombucha beverage is a low-caloric functional drink that is increasingly popular around the world. While it is traditionally produced with black or green tea, this paper explores its production based on other herbal and floral infusions. The kombucha analogs presented in this paper can provide consumers with healthy alternatives for sugary soft drinks while also offering a broader range of flavors.
