Patrícia Batista,
Maria Rodrigues Penas,
Catarina Vila-Real
et al.

Abstract: Background: Increasing research into probiotics is showing potential benefits for health in general and mental health in particular. Kombucha is a recent beverage and can be considered a probiotic drink, but little is known about its effects on physical and mental health. This product is experiencing growth in the market; however, there are no scientific results to support its potential for physical and mental health. Aim: This review article aims to draw attention to this issue and to highlight the lack of st… Show more

“…Kombucha is rich in numerous beneficial compounds, including polyphenols, organic acids, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, organic nitrogen, and hydrolytic enzymes, which collectively confer significant health benefits. ,, However, the manufacturing techniques, microbiota, byproducts and physicochemical properties of kombucha are essential facts to be considered for industrial production . As consumers become more aware of kombucha, the traditional method of spontaneous fermentation has become controversial due to its inconsistent and instable quality .…”

“…As consumers become more aware of kombucha, the traditional method of spontaneous fermentation has become controversial due to its inconsistent and instable quality . Excessive consumption of kombucha can cause health risks, such as gastrointestinal toxicity. , Therefore, it is important to address potential dangers associated with consuming kombucha, especially for individuals who may be at risk such as those with mold allergies, weakened immune systems, prone to acidosis, or sensitive to alcohol. , It is suspected that the potential risks of allergic reactions leading to health issues such as dizziness, nausea, and headaches. ,, Therefore, the innovative optimization of the fermentation process, microbial consortium evolutionary patterns, health functions, and risk assessment of kombucha tea has attracted wide attention from global researchers, which inevitably needs substantial studies to conduct systematic investigations in detail.…”
