Abstract in brief

Water kefir is a fizzy, slightly acidic drink made by fermenting a sugar solution with dried fruits and water kefir grains, which are cultures of bacteria and yeast embedded in a polysaccharide matrix.
The microbial community within these grains mainly includes lactic acid bacteria, yeast, and acetic acid bacteria, and their specific composition can vary based on location and fermentation conditions, influencing the drink's flavor, aroma, and acidity.
As water kefir becomes more popular due to its health benefits and trendy lifestyle appeal, there's a growing need to better understand its microbiology and develop controlled production methods, moving beyond traditional small-scale processes.]
