Abstract

Kombucha is a fermented beverage that has been gaining popularity due to its health benefits, such as its antioxidant and probiotic content. One of the main ingredients in making kombucha is tea, and the type of tea used significantly affects the quality of the final product. This study aimed to determine the effect of using black tea on the growth of SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast) and the organoleptic quality of kombucha. The research was conducted experimentally at the Microbiology Laboratory of Universitas Negeri Medan in April–May 2025. Kombucha was fermented for six days with a black tea solution to which sugar and a starter culture were added. The parameters observed included SCOBY growth (thickness and diameter) and organoleptic quality (taste, aroma, and color), which were assessed by ten panelists. The results showed an increase in SCOBY thickness from 0.5 cm to 0.8 cm and diameter from 12 cm to 15 cm. Organoleptic tests indicated that black tea kombucha tends to have a sour taste, a moderately strong aroma, and a yellowish-brown to brown color. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that black tea positively influences SCOBY growth and produces kombucha with good sensory quality that is acceptable to the panelists.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of fermentation duration on the quality of cucumber pickles (Cucumis sativus L.). Cucumber pickles are fermented products involving lactic acid bacteria (LAB) activity, which enhances sensory attributes and nutritional value. A descriptive method was employed using three fermentation durations: 3, 5, and 7 days. Observed parameters included pH changes, color variation, and organoleptic tests (appearance, aroma, taste, texture, and flavor balance). The results indicated that 5-day fermentation provided the best overall quality, particularly in aroma, taste, and flavor balance, while 3-day fermentation showed better appearance and texture. Conversely, 7-day fermentation significantly reduced organoleptic quality. The study concluded that fermentation time significantly affects pickle quality, with the optimal fermentation period occurring on the fifth day.
