The fermentation of maqui juice (MJ), by incorporating kombucha as a starter culture, produces beverages with variable and stable anthocyanin contents. The metabolic effect of kombucha starter cultures obtained at different fermentation times was explored on the anthocyanin stability of maqui (Aristotelia chilensis (Mol.) Stuntz) juice supplemented at different concentrations of sucrose and fermented at different times. The stability of anthocyanins was associated with the levels of catechin detected in the fermentation system. This study concludes that the fermentation of MJ with sucrose (10%) and kombucha consortium of 7-days old, promotes the release and accumulation of phenolic compounds that act as co-pigments, with the best response in quality parameters of beverages such as color intensity, tone, hyperchromic effect, and a significant bathochromic shift. Finally, the additive effect of phenolic constituents with stable anthocyanins, confers to kombucha analogs an outstanding antioxidant quality and inhibitory effects on key enzymes in digestive processes.
