Seeds kefir contains lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts. Lactic acid bacteria and yeast in kefir seeds among other things, and Lactobacillus lactis Lactobacilus kefirgranum that play a role in the formation of lactic acid. Lactobacilus kefiranofaciens kefr cause clotting so that it becomes thick, Leuconostoc (type of LAB and yeasts) forming diasetil, and Candida kefir as a shaper of ethanol and CO2.
The composition of kefir in general is 2.88% lactose, protein 3.91%, 2.57% fat and 0.94% ethanol. Kefir has a characteristic pH of 3.77 to 4.19 and the degree of acidity of 1% with a sour taste fresh sting.
