KOMBUCHA FROM NEWGENBIOTECH

A、Introduction
Kombucha from Newgenbiotech.com is a functional sweetened beverage fermented from black tea by Saccharomyces cerevisiae boulardii,Acetobacter and lactobacillus with Liquid submerged fermentation.
Kombuchawas originated from China, consumed in east Russia at least as early as 1900, and from there entered Europe.Historically, kombucha has been home-brewed or locally brewed, but in the late 1990s, commercially bottled kombucha became available in North American retail stores.In 1913, kombucha was first mentioned in German literature.

It is known in Chinese as chájūn (茶菌), Japanese as kōcha-kinoko (紅茶キノコ), Korean as hongchabeoseotcha (홍차버섯차) and Russian as chaynyygrib (чайныйгриб). These names translate literally to "tea fungus" or "tea mushroom."

B、Advantages of production process
Traditional kombucha is produced by fermenting tea using a "symbiotic 'colony' of bacteria and yeast" (SCOBY). Actual contributing microbial populations in SCOBY cultures vary, but the yeast component generally includes Saccharomyces (a probiotic fungus) and other species, and the bacterial component almost always includes Gluconacetobacterxylinus to oxidize yeast-produced alcohols to acetic and other acids.
According to the production process and varied microbial compositions of traditional kombucha, Kombucha from Newgenbiotech is produced by the dominant species screened from traditional kombucha.
 Combining with modern biological fermentation technology, the large scale and safety of kombucha production was realized.By controlling technological conditions strictly,the alcohol content of the kombucha of Newgenbiotech is less than 0.5% which is in accordance with the standard of non-alcoholic beverages.

C、Properties of products
Sucrose, the carbon source, is converted, biochemically, into fructose and glucose, and these into gluconic acid and acetic acid which are mainly present in the drink. These substances help to clean up the intestines and stomach, to help digestion, prevention and treatment of constipation, to improve the stability of vitamins and prevent harmful bacteria.
In addition, kombucha contains tea polyphenols,caffeine, enzymes, amino acids, and various other organic acids; the exact quantities of these items vary between preparations.These functional substances are beneficial for refreshing, improving human immunity and enhancing good body resistance.

Other specific components include glucuronic acid, glycerol, lactic acid, B-vitamins and vitamin C which are helpful for the health of the body and the growth of probiotics.
