Abstract

Kombucha tea is a lightly fermented tea beverage with little acidity. It is a culture of both yeast and bacteria. It has been
consumed as a self prescribed folk remedy for numerous ailments
in many countries. Kombucha tea contains vitamins, minerals,
many organic acids and enzymes. Moreover, kombucha tea has
potent antioxidant and immune modulating properties and reduces
the toxic effect of lead ingestion and related damage of DNA. Besides, it promotes mental state, increases resistance to cancer,
heart diseases and blood vessels diseases, improves digestion
function, reduces blood sugar and many other benefits. In this study, kombucha tea has been prepared from both black tea and green tea. Also, the chemical structure of both black
and green tea has been estimated (protein-moisture-ash- total
polyphenols - pH value -sucrose- glucose-fructose). Besides, this study handled the oral administration of the two kinds of kombucha tea (kombucha black andgreen tea) on hypercholesterolemic , diabetic and healthy rats and the effect of kombucha tea on the improvement of lipid
profile, glucose levels, liver functions, kidney functions and
some internal organs weight.
