Polyphenols in kombucha: Metabolomic analysis of biotransformations during fermentation

Abstract

Kombucha is a non-alcoholic beverage made of sugared tea that is transformed by a symbiotic consortium of yeasts and bacteria. This beverage is increasingly produced at industrial scale, but its quality standards remain to be defined. Metabolomics analysis was carried out using FT-ICR-MS to understand the chemical transformations induced by the production phases and the type of tea on the non-volatile compounds of kombucha. Of the two production phases, the first phase of acidification in open vessel was the most impactful on molecular diversity, but tea type mainly influenced the global composition in polyphenol profiles. Black tea polyphenols were more impacted by microbial activity compared to green tea polyphenols. Independently from tea type, the first phase was also characterized by the release of gluconate from acetic acid bacteria metabolism. Gallate was also released and probably originated from the hydrolysis of ester bounds located in polymeric flavan-3-ols. The biotransformation of antioxidant polyphenols could positively impact their bioavailability for the consumer.

Cover crop management and termination timing have different effects on the maturation and water potentials of Glera (Vitis vinifera L.) in Friuli-Venezia Giulia

Inter-row soil tillage in vineyards, stimulates vigor and production due to the absence of competition for water and nutrients, however negatively affects organic matter content, soil erosion, and compaction, resulting in reduced fertility. In this study, we investigated the effects of different cover crop management approaches, including cultivation type and termination timing, on the physiological and productive responses of a Glera vineyard.
The experimental trial was conducted in Precenicco (UD) from 2019 to 2021. A commercial mixture for autumn cover cropping was sown in alternating rows, and the sowing pattern was changed each year.

Adaptation to climate change by determining grapevine cultivar differences using temperature-based phenology models

Grapevine phenology is advancing with increased temperatures associated with climate change. This may result in higher fruit sugar concentrations at harvest and/or earlier compressed harvests and changes in the synchrony of sugar with other fruit metabolites. One adaptation strategy that growers may use to maintain typicity of wine style is to change cultivars. This approach may enable fruit

Zonazione del comprensorio soave sulla base delle caratteristiche climatiche, pedologiche e viticole

[English version below]

A tre anni dal suo inizio, nel 1997 si è conclusa la prima fase della ricerca “Caratterizzazione della produzione DOC Soave”. Lo studio ha basato il suo percorso sperimentale su alcuni punti fondamentali tra i quali:
• Recupero di tutte le informazioni storico-colturali sul vino Soave e sul suo territorio di produzione.

Nitrogen forms and Iron deficiency: how do Grapevine rootstocks responses change?

Grapevine rootstocks provide protection against environmental biotic and abiotic stresses. Nitrogen (N) and iron (Fe) are growth-limiting factors in many crop plants due to their effects on the chlorophyll and photosynthetic characteristics. Iron nutrition of plants can be significantly affected by different nitrogen forms through altering the uptake ratio of cations and anions, and changing rhizosphere pH. The aim of this study was to investigate the response mechanisms of grapevine rootstocks due to the interaction between different nitrogen forms and iron uptake.

Release and perception of γ-nonalactone and massoia lactone in the red wine matrix: impact of ethanol and acidity

Climate change (CC) is altering grape/wine composition, challenging wine sensory quality. Rising temperatures increase grape sugar levels, with higher wine ethanol (EtOH) contents, reduce total acidity (TA) converging with increased pH and lead to the accumulation of CC odorous markers such as γ-nonalactone (γ-C9) and massoia lactone (ML).
