Characterization of Physicochemical Properties, Volatile Compounds, and Sensory Attributes of Tonto, a Traditional Ugandan Banana‐Based Alcoholic Beverage

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Traditional Ugandan Tonto is produced through the spontaneous fermentation of banana juice and roasted sorghum. Fermentation decreased pH and total soluble solids while increasing ethanol and titratable acidity. A total of 38 volatile compounds were identified, with esters contributing characteristic fruity and banana‐like aromas.
