Milk-based kombucha beverages were obtained conducting kombucha lead fermentation of milk. In order to discriminate the analysed samples and to detect similarities or dissimilarities among them in the space of experimentally determined variables, hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and principal component analysis (PCA) were applied. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) was conducted on the raw data set in order to find a rule for allocating a new sample of unknown origin to the correct group of samples. In the space of the variables analysed by HCA, the dominant discriminating factor for the studied samples of kombucha beverages is the milk fat (MF) content, followed by total unsaturated fatty acids content (TUFA), monounsaturated fatty acids content (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids content (PUFA). The samples with 0.8 and 1.6% milk fat belong to the same cluster in the space of the analysed variables due to similarities in their AADPPH. It was determined by LDA that there was the biggest difference in quality between the groups of products with winter savoury and stinging nettle, while the highest similarity is between groups of products with wild thyme and peppermint regarding their pH values and antioxidant activity expressed as AADPPH.
