Saccharomyces/Xylinum/Black tea ferment is a mixture of various compounds produced by the microorganisms Saccharomyces and Xylinum from black tea leaves, also known as Kombucha. It contains various B vitamins, organic acids, and phenolic compounds – which have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties.
Kombucha is a beverage that has gained a lot of fame in recent years. The mushroom-fermented tea is believed to have various beneficial effects on human health, both when ingested and applied to the skin.
The interesting aspect of Kombucha is that it is not produced by a single species of fermenting organism, but rather by at least two – a single-cell yeast Saccharomyces and a bacteria Xylinum. Saccharomyces uses sugar to produce alcohol, which is then taken by Xylinum and turned into various other compounds. The research on the precise composition of Kombucha is still ongoing.
