Details

Tepache is a traditional Mexican fermented beverage made from pineapple peels. This project develops a health-enhancing synbiotic tepache using probiotic yeast, lactic acid bacteria, and prebiotics to support gut health, provide antioxidant benefits, and boost immunity.

Tepache is a traditional Mexican fermented beverage commonly made using pineapple peels, which naturally contain sugars and the enzyme bromelain. These components contribute to its distinctive aroma and unique flavor. This project aims to develop a health-enhancing tepache by fermenting pineapple peels with probiotic yeast and lactic acid bacteria. Additionally, prebiotics, including inulin and xylo-oligosaccharides, are incorporated as nutrients to support probiotic growth. The resulting synbiotic tepache promotes gut microbiota balance, exhibits antioxidant properties, and enhances the immune system, making it a functional and beneficial beverage for consumers.

Objective

To develop a production process for healthy synbiotic tepache using probiotic yeast and lactic acid bacteria while ensuring consistent product quality.
