Özet
This study investigates the potential for developing a dairy‐free, functional kefir using Sarıkılçık rice (Oryza sativa L.), a traditional Turkish variety cultivated in Kastamonu. Kefir was produced by fermenting rice milk with water kefir grains at three inoculation levels (2%, 5%, and 9%) and was then evaluated in comparison with traditional milk kefir and a commercial kefir product. Comprehensive assessments included physicochemical measurements (pH, dry matter content, titratable acidity, and color), sensory evaluation, and metagenomic profiling via high‐throughput 16S rRNA sequencing. Among the rice kefirs, the 9% inoculated rice kefir exhibited the lowest pH of 3.56 and the highest lactic acid content, along with darker and more green‐blue color values. Although traditional and commercial kefirs had higher sensory acceptability, rice kefir with 9% inoculation emerged as the best plant‐based option …
