Kefir and kefir grains : diversity of chemical properties and microflora
Kefir grains contain bacteria and yeasts embedded in a protein and polysaccharide matrix. They constitute the primary starter culture for kefir, a fermented milk drink with a complex sensory profile containing high amounts of lactic acid, ethanol, CO2, acetaldehyde and diacetyl. In commercial production of kefir in Norway, seven kefir grain cultures of
