What might affect the production and composition of Kombucha?
Affect
Positive
Negative
Influence
Impact on
Factors
Environmental Factors
Air quality
A steady 20-25 *c is best. Cooler than this may slow down the process, warmer than this may cause harmful bacteria to grow .
Ingredient
Type of tea
Black tea
Sugar amount
Type of Sugar
Most surgars can be used, however plain white (caster sugar) is preferred
Fermentation Conditions
Temperatures
20-25 *C
Length of Fermentation
7-30 days
Carbonation Levels
Sealing methods
generally covered with a tea
towel or cloth, and secured
with a rubber band

Aim
Aim: What might affect the production and composition of kombucha
Hypothesis :If the amount of sugar is increased, then the CO₂ content and pH level will change because the added sugar will increase fermentation activity, producing more CO₂ and potentially altering the pH level.
Variables
Independent: the amounts of sugar
Dependent: CO2 Content
Controlled: Temperature, Water content, SCOBY content, tea type
