Muratina is a honey drink from the Mount Kenya region, fermented in a gourd with dried, pre-cured fruit of the sausage tree (Kigelia africana). In a study from Mbeere, honey and water fermented 3–5 days at 30 °C, and the product reached about 20 % alcohol.

At a glance
Muratina is a honey drink from the Mount Kenya region, fermented in a gourd with dried, pre-cured fruit of the sausage tree (Kigelia africana). In a study from Mbeere, honey and water fermented 3–5 days at 30 °C, and the product reached about 20 % alcohol. Made in 4 steps over 3 days – 5 days. The longest step, add the cured fruit and ferment, takes 3–5 days (Njeru P.N. 2024) and runs at 30 °C (Njeru P.N. 2024). Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Lactococcus and Pediococcus do most of the fermenting.
Muratina ferments honey water spontaneously in a gourd, with dried, pre-cured Kigelia fruit in place of a cereal or back-slop starter. In the Tanzanian denge the Kigelia agents are reused, but the Mbeere study does not say so for muratina.
Denge (Pare, Tanzania)Sugarcane juice or cane sugar (1 kg in 4 L water) fermented 8–9 hours with Kigelia fruit or Aloe pluridens stem; Kigelia is called muratina in Meru.
Safety
The fresh fruit pulp of Kigelia is said to be toxic, especially when young, and is never eaten fresh; the fruit goes into the gourd pre-cured and dried. A 1997 study of the related Tanzanian denge says the types and levels of residual toxicants from the Kigelia agent need to be identified. The Mbeere muratina measured pH 4.06 and about 20 % alcohol.
Hazards the sources name: Kigelia fruit pulp, said to be inedible and toxic when fresh, especially young; the fruits are never eaten fresh; Residual toxicants from the Kigelia agent (studied for the related Tanzanian denge; identity and levels not known).
A 2020 review says Kigelia fruits and bark are used in brewing to aid fermentation and flavour traditional beers. Muratina is also the Kikuyu and Meru name of the tree. The Mbeere study says the wine is still made by traditional technology and has never been scaled up.
