Evaluating chromatographic techniques for the aroma profiling of kombucha - Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry Kombucha is a fermented beverage made from the addition of a symbiotic community of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY) to a sugary base tea. Despite the odors associated with kombucha, few studies have examined its chemical aroma profile. The mixture of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from tea and its fermentation is typically examined using one-dimensional gas chromatography with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC-TOFMS). More complex samples benefit from the higher resolution and separation capacity of comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography with time-of-flight mass spectrometry...
