Abstract

Amidst the contemporary stressful environment, red dates, enriched with antioxidants such as vitamin C, are recognized for their potential in alleviating disrupted sleep and depression. Concurrently, Kombucha has demonstrated positive effects on gut health. This study aims to evaluate the impact of varying concentrations of SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast) on red dates tea kombucha, comprehensively analyzing its physicochemical properties, alcohol content, cytotoxicity, microbial aspects, and sensory acceptability.
