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

Investigation of the kefir culture microflora produced from different kefir grains
Fermentirani mliječni napici u koje se ubraja i kefir, namirnice su visoke prehrambene i biološke vrijednosti. Kulture za proizvodnju kefira dobivaju se fermentacijom mlijeka pomoću kefirnih zrnaca. Mikroflora kefirnih zrnaca je vrlo složena i promjenjivog sastava, a sadržava više vrsta bakterija i kvasaca.
