Evaluation of the antidiabetic potential and bioaccessibility of propolis-enriched aronia kombucha: an in vitro study (opens in new tab)

Defined as a fermented tea beverage, kombucha is obtained via the metabolic activity of a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeasts (SCOBY) in sweetened tea, and it is widely recognized for its associated functional and bioactive properties. In this study, kombucha fermented with aronia tea (AK) and aronia kombucha enriched with propolis (PAK) were examined together to evaluate bioactive components, phenolic profile, in vitro bioaccessibility, and antidiabetic potential.
