Water kefir, a fermented beverage containing probiotic microorganisms: From ancient and artisanal manufacture to industrialized and regulated commercialization

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a demand for natural products able to enhance consumers health. Many people discovered the benefits of fermented products such as milk and water kefir and kombucha. Specif- ically, water kefir has aroused great interest from people interested in consuming...

Many people discovered the benefits of fermented products such as milk and water kefir and kombucha.

In addition, the quality param- eters for the inclusion of this product in the Codex Alimentarius of many countries must be established, in order to regulate its production on an industrial scale and marketing.
