Abstract
Water kefir is a convenient dairy-free alternative to dairy-based fermented beverages. It is prepared by fermenting a sucrose solution with fresh and dried fruits using water kefir grains, and demineralized whey can be used in water kefir production. This review describes current knowledge on water kefir production and its health effects. The main aims of this paper are to focus on the microbial composition, potential health-promoting properties, limitations in human consumption, and challenges in the production of water kefir. Water kefir grains and substrates, including brown sugar, dried and fresh fruits, vegetables, and molasses, used in the production influence the fermentation characteristics and composition of water kefir. Lactic acid bacteria, acetic acid bacteria, and yeasts are the microorganisms involved in the fermentation process. Lactobacillus species are the most common microorganisms found in water kefir. Water kefir contains various bioactive compounds that have potential health benefits. Water kefir may inhibit the growth of certain pathogenic microorganisms and food spoilage bacteria, resulting in various health-promoting properties, including immunomodulatory, antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, anti-ulcerogenic, antiobesity, hypolipidemic, and hepatoprotective activities.
