THE SUPPLEMENTARY EFFECT OF BLACK AND GREEN TEA INFUSION ON ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITIES OF KEFIR
Abstract
The influence of
supplementation with green and black tea on microbiological properties and
antimicrobial activities of kefir was investigated during 21 days of storage. The samples supplemented with 2% either green or
black tea had higher viable counts of both kefir cultures than those of
supplemented with the ratio of 4%. Both
green and black tea extracts showed antimicrobial activity on Escherichia
coli, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans however this
effect was detected higher in samples containing
