PROCESS FOR PREPARING FERMENTED BEVERAGES BASED ON WATER AND HONEY, USING WATER KEFIR GRAINS

摘要

The invention relates to a process for preparing a synbiotic fermented beverage. According to the invention, the process consists in fermenting a substrate comprising a solution of 8...20 % honey and water, at a temperature of 16...30°C, with 7.5...25%, as related to the substrate mass, water kefir grains washed and conditioned before use, for 24...96 h, depending on the amount of sugars in the solution, to result in a fermented product with natural flavour, having the value of soluble dry mater in the range of 11.081...12.337, an acidity of 0.98...1.37 ml NaOH/100 g and a pH value of 3.18...3.24, the percentage being expressed gravimetrically.
