DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to a fermented water kefir beverage containing thyme and the said beverage It relates to its production through a two-stage fermentation method. The basis of the invention is water. The first fermentation is carried out using kefir grains and the tea plant. the separation of the second fermentation, in which the fermentation liquid is incorporated This is how it is formed. Thus, after the tea leaves and water kefir grains are removed from the liquid phase... It is then transferred to a fermentation medium. The water kefir grains used in this invention are a sugar-containing aqueous medium. These are grains containing bacteria and yeasts that enable fermentation. Fresh green onions are also used. or it can be used in dried form. Used in the production process. It is preferable that the containers and filtering equipment be clean, Fermentation vessels can be made of glass. In the first stage of production, water, sugar, and water kefir grains undergo a fermentation process. It is mixed by being placed in a container. In a preferred application of the invention, one 50 grams of sugar and 50 grams of water kefir grains are added to one liter of water. Sugar, water fermentable carbohydrates for microorganisms in kefir grains It constitutes the source. The mixture consisting of water, sugar, and water kefir grains is used for the first fermentation. To facilitate this process, it is left to stand at a temperature of 20-25 °C for 24-48 hours. Mix occasionally as needed during the fermentation period. They can be mixed. As a result of the first fermentation, water kefir grains A fermented liquid phase is formed through microbial activity. After the first fermentation is complete, the water kefir grains are strained. The fermented liquid is separated by this process. The filtration process separates the water kefir grains. a filter that will allow them to be removed from the liquid phase while preserving their integrity This is done using... The separated water kefir grains are processed under suitable conditions. It can be preserved and reused in subsequent water kefir productions. 4 The fermented liquid obtained by separating the water kefir grains is the second It forms the liquid base of fermentation. This liquid is added using fresh or dried herbs. Grass is added. Grass is added to the fermented liquid at a rate of 0.5% by weight / volume. It is added in a ratio of 5-20 percent. Accordingly, 5-20 for one liter of fermented liquid. Grams of tea leaves can be used. Using less than 0.5% of the tea tree extract should be avoided to prevent damage from tea tree extract. ensuring that aroma and herbal components are perceived at sufficient levels in the beverage. It can limit consumption. Using more than 2% is specific to the tea plant. This causes the aroma and bitterness to become dominant in the sensory structure of the beverage. This is possible. Therefore, a weight / volume range of 0.5-2 percent (w / v) is recommended for tea leaves. It allows for the controlled inclusion of the fermented liquid. After adding the tea leaves to the fermented liquid, the mixture becomes homogeneous. The mixture is stirred in a way that ensures even distribution. The resulting mixture can be sealed. It is transferred to a fermentation vessel and subjected to a second fermentation. Second Fermentation is carried out at a temperature of 20-25 °C for 24-48 hours. During the second fermentation, the tea leaves are mixed with the herbs obtained from the first fermentation. It is located in the liquid phase; in contrast, water kefir grains undergo a second fermentation. It is not present in the environment. Thanks to this structure, pieces of yarrow are used in water kefir. This prevents it from mixing with the grains and the fermentation in which the tea plant is located. stage, from the fermentation stage carried out with water kefir grains It is conducted independently. During the second fermentation, which is carried out in a closed container... Gas production resulting from fermentation can be controlled. The gas pressure in the fermentation vessel is controlled as needed. is reduced. Thus, the second fermentation is carried out at the specified temperature and time. This ensures sustainability under these conditions. During the second fermentation, the aroma-producing compounds of the tea plant are released into the liquid medium. The permeable components are transferred to the fermentation liquid. The fermentation medium Its acidic structure and microbial activity give the wild garlic its intense aroma and bitterness. presented within a different sensory framework compared to direct plant consumption. It provides the opportunity. After the second fermentation is complete, the mixture undergoes filtration. is retained. During filtration, pieces of tea tree grass are removed from the liquid phase. and a fermented beverage is obtained that does not contain plant solid particles. Filtration The process involves using a sieve with a porous structure capable of holding pieces of tea leaves, or This can be done using filters. The final product obtained as a result of filtration; from the first fermentation the water kefir components derived from and the tea leaves during the second fermentation It is a fermented beverage containing components that have passed into the liquid phase. The final product contains water. There are no kefir grains or solid pieces of tea leaves in it. The resulting beverage is ready for direct consumption after filtration. It can be served or allowed to rest in a cold environment. The product should be kept cool and... It is preferable to store it in an environment that does not receive direct sunlight. is being done. The manufacturing method in a preferred application of the invention; Mix one liter of water, 50 grams of sugar, and 50 grams of water kefir grains. the mixture should be subjected to a first fermentation at 20-25 °C for 24-48 hours, separating the kefir grains from the fermented liquid by filtering, Add 0.5-2% weight / volume of fresh or dried to the fermented liquid adding tea leaves, The fermented liquid containing the tea leaves is left to ferment in a closed container at 20-25 °C for 24-48 hours. subjected to fermentation and Filtration of tea tree pieces after the second fermentation It includes removal. The invention allows for the separation of the first and second fermentations. The kefir grains do not come into contact with the pieces of thyme during fermentation. It can be easily recovered and reused. Furthermore, the tea tree... The amount and the temperature and duration of the second fermentation are independent of each other. Since it can be determined, control of production conditions and different production batches Repeatability between them is increased.
