Red ginger provides a number of benefits. This rhizome contains a lot of bioactive substances, like phenolics and flavonoids, which have antioxidant properties. SCOBY (a symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast)-fermented red ginger extract can be effective as a probiotic beverage that can enhance health and raise antibodies that support health. This research sought to examine the outcomes of red ginger fermentation utilizing a SCOBY inoculum for 0, 7 and 14 days (a symbiotic colony of yeast). The inoculum of red ginger was 20% (v/v), while the red ginger concentration was 10% (w/v). Reducing sugars, pH, total acid content, total polyphenols, flavonoids, and the suppression of free radicals by DPPH were all analyzed. The total glucose and pH of red ginger kombucha with a 14-day fermentation decreased to 70.82 mg/mL and 3.46, respectively. In contrast, there was an increase of 0.25 mg/ml, 163.44 ppm, 19.62 ppm, and 81.63 in.the analysis of total acid, polyphenol, flavonoid, and free radical inhibition. This demonstrates the potential for fermented red ginger with scoby culture to be developed into a health beverage that can improve endurance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
