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.

A preliminary study of clonal selection in cv. Viura in relation to varietal aroma profile

Viura is a synonym for Macabeo and currently it is the most widely planted white grape variety in D.O.Ca. Rioja, with 3,569 ha, representing 84% of the white grape cultivated area. It is a generous-yielding grape, presenting low values of titratable acidity and with large and compact clusters which makes it susceptible to Botrytis cinerea. Thus, this variety not always satisfies the wine grower’s prospects. Nowadays, the available plant material is scarce, moreover, it was selected on the basis of other quality criteria, not currently requested.

he main goal of this research was to identify key aroma compounds linked with the maturity of grapes (ripe and overripe) and involved in grapes and wines with an intense dried fruits aroma. Odoriferous zones reminiscent of these aromas were detected by gas chromatography coupled with olfactometry (GC-O).
