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.

Comparison of genotype x environment interaction of clonal and polyclonal grapevine selected materials

Conserving and exploring the intra-varietal diversity of ancient varieties is essential to foster their use in the future, preserving the traditions and history of ancient growing regions and their wines. The conservation of representative samples of ancient varieties and the utilization of intra-varietal variability through polyclonal selection are advisable strategies to save and promote the cultivation of each variety, respectively.

Utility of leaf removal timing and irrigation amounts on grape berry flavonoids under climate change

Context and purpose of the study – The dormant and growing season temperatures in California USA have been increasing with more clear sky days. A consequence increasing temperatures and clear sky days is water deficit conditions. Viticulturists must determine appropriate balances of canopy management and irrigation budgeting to produce suitable yields without compromising berry chemistry. In response, a study designed to test the interactive effects of leaf removal timing and applied water amounts on Cabernet Sauvignon/110R in Napa Valley, CA.
