KOMBUCHA PROCESSING UNIT

Kombucha:

Kombucha is a fermented beverage that has gained popularity in recent years for its potential health benefits. It is made by fermenting sweetened tea with the help of a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY). The SCOBY, often referred to as the "kombucha mother," initiates the fermentation process, transforming the sweetened tea into a tangy, effervescent drink.

Kombucha Processing:

Processing kombucha involves several key steps, from brewing the tea to bottling the finished product. Here's a general overview of the kombucha processing

1. Ingredients: The main ingredients for making kombucha include black or green tea, sugar, and a SCOBY.
2. Brewing the Tea: Black or green tea is steeped in hot water, and sugar is added to the tea to provide a food source for the SCOBY. The tea is then allowed to cool to room temperature.
3. Adding the SCOBY: The SCOBY is placed in the sweetened tea. It's a rubbery, disc-shaped culture that floats on the surface.
4. Fermentation: The fermentation process typically takes one to two weeks. During this time, the SCOBY metabolizes the sugar and produces acetic acid, lactic acid, and other compounds, giving kombucha its characteristic tangy flavor.
5. Bottling: After fermentation, the liquid is separated from the SCOBY, and the kombucha is often bottled. This can be done plain or with added flavors like fruit, herbs, or spices.
6. Carbonation: If bottled, the kombucha undergoes a second fermentation in the sealed bottles. This can create natural carbonation.
7. Refrigeration: Once the desired flavor and carbonation are achieved, the kombucha is refrigerated to slow down the fermentation process.
