Implication

Randomized trial evaluates fermentation dynamics and flavor profiles in kombucha using fruit residues, indicating potential for sucrose-free production.

Key Points

The study aims to assess the impact of sucrose addition on kombucha fermentation dynamics and flavor profiles using fruit residues as natural flavoring agents.
Monitored fermentation parameters for 9 days and storage for 30 days.
Evaluated pH, total soluble solids, total titratable acidity, sugar consumption, and chemical profiles.
Conducted sensory analysis on kombucha samples flavored with fruit residues.
Sucrose-free fermentation resulted in a significant reduction in total phenolic compounds (p < 0.05).
Ethanol concentrations remained below 0.5% v/v, complying with non-alcoholic beverage regulations.
Sensory analysis indicated that fruit matrices enhanced visual appearance and flavor complexity.
