List of sugar, sugary food, honey, syrup, fruits & juices for kombucha (SCOBY) & water kefir grain fermentation Kombucha (SCOBY) and water kefir grains need sugar (glucose and fructose). The yeast will break down sugar (sucrose) into smaller components glucose and fructose though the secretion of invertase enzyme. Glucose will then be broken down into pyruvate, then acetaldehyde, and then ethanol (alcohol) while releasing carbon dioxide (CO2, which makes the drink fizzy & bubbly). Then the bacteria in the scoby will convert the ethanol (alcohol) into acetic acid (which gives sour and vinegar taste).
