Evaluation of the antidiabetic potential and bioaccessibility of propolis-enriched aronia kombucha: an in vitro study
-glucosidase (42.04%) and α-amylase (44.68%) inhibition. Future studies should investigate reproducibility, colonic fermentation-microbiota interaction, and target metabolite tracking under varying sucrose levels and SCOBY profiles; clinical validation should also be supported by sensory acceptance, shelf life, and safety parameters.
