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.

Implications of the nature of organic mulches used in vineyards on grapevine water status, yield, berry quality and biological soil health  

Climate emergency is going to affect the agricultural suistainability, wine grapes being probably one of the crops more sensitive to environmental constraints. In this context, mitigation strategies such as the revalorization of agricultural wastes are paramount to cope with the current challenges. The use of organic mulches has been reported to reduce soil water evaporation and improve vine water status, reduce soil erosion, and increase soil organic matter with little impact on berry quality. However, less is known about their effects on the microbiote of vineyards.
