Polyphenols in kombucha: impact of infusion time on extraction and investigation of their behavior during “fermentation”

Abstract

Kombucha is a non-alcoholic beverage made of sugared tea that is transformed by a symbiotic consortium of yeasts and bacteria. Polyphenols are expected to be responsible of several health benefits attributed to kombucha consumption, among other metabolites. This study investigated the impact of tea infusion time and of kombucha “fermentation”, on total phenolic content, proanthocyanidins concentration and the color. It was determined that pH decrease during fermentation was the origin of kombucha color loss. Moreover, fermentation impacts the profile of black and green tea polyphenols more than infusion time between 30 minutes and 1 hour. Results suggest a significant release of phenolic compounds during “fermentation” possibly caused by the hydrolysis of molecular bounds, such as gallate ester bounds.

Dialing in grapevine water stress indicators to better reflect holistic stress responses

Current remote sensing strategies rely heavily on reflectance data and energy balance modelling using thermal imagery to estimate crop water use and stress. These approaches show great promise for driving precision management decisions, but still require work to better understand how detected changes relate to meaningful physiological changes. Under water stress, grapevines exhibit a range of responses involving both biological and physical changes within leaves and canopies.

Chemical and sensory characterization of Xinomavro PDO red wine

Aroma is considered one of the most important factors in determining the quality and character of wine. The relationship between wine character and its volatile composition is recognized by several researchers worldwide. Since these compounds influence the sensory perceptions of consumers, both volatile composition and sensory properties are essential in determining wine aroma characteristics.
