Re: Microbiological results obtained from one (1) Kombucha Tea, bottled 12/96.

The sample was delivered to Kappa Laboratories, Inc., 2577 N.W. 74th Avenue, Miami, Florida, 33122 on January, 3, 1997. The product was submitted by Kombucha Power Products, 2121 Ponce De Leon, Suite 522, Coral Gables, Florida 33134

Microbiological sampling and preparation of one (1) specimen was carried out according to the AOAC Methods 46.013. The following tests listed were performed according to the AOAC methods cited:

Total Plate Count (Aerobic Plate Count ): was performed according to APHA Methods, Compendium of Methods for the Microbiological Examination of Foods, 2nd ed.,(4.52).

Coliform Count: was performed according to AOAC Method 46.016, 14th ed. From the test sample, 1 ml dilutions were prepared in Lauryl Sulfate Tryptose broth.

E. coli: determination (AOAC 46.016, 14th ed.) in computing MPN of E. coli / gm, considering Gram Negative nonspore-forming rods, Lactose gas producing and Indole (+), MR (+), VP (-) and Citrate (-) as indicating E. coli.

Coaqulase-Positive Staphylococcus (Staphylococcus aureus): was assayed according to AOAC methods 46.136, 14th ed. to determine count/gm sample using direct triplicate plating on Baird-Parker agar with direct colony count. Positive colonies were confirmed by the Coaqulase reaction.

RESULTS

Sample 1 - Kombucha Tea

Total Plate Count <100cts. per gram

Coliforms <3.0cts. per gram

E.coli <3.0cts. per gram

Coaqulase Positive Staph. Aureus <100cts. per gram

(Triple Tube Method for Coliforms)

Control - Microbial

Total Plate Count Negative

Coliforms Negative

g. coli Negative

Coagulase Positive Staph aureus Negative

(Triple Tube Method for Coliforms)

Note: less than (<) sign indicates Negative growth for that bacteria at the lowest level expressed. For example, <10 cts. Per gram would indicate Negative, or no growth, for the bacteria at a concentration of 1.10, if the bacteria is present it is less than this concentration.

Based upon the Microbiological Results of the samples listed above and insofar as the analyses performed were able to assay for the presence or absence of specific pathogens, the product represented by the sample analyzed would appear to be wholesome and fit for human consumption.
