Abstract:

Tea infusion with sugar was used as the medium to conduct fermentation experiments with tea fungus. Acetic acid bacteria and yeast counts were determined during fermentation process to establish growth curves. Meanwhile, acidity in tea infusion was also determined. Results indicated that acetic acid bacteria and yeast counts were different and acidity in tea infusion also exhibited a difference at different fermentation conditions.

Key words: tea fungus, yeast cell, acetic acid bacteria, acidity
