In this study, sweetened black and green tea were utilized as substrate for kombucha fermentation. Linden, lemon balm, sage, echinacea, mint, and cinnamon infusions were added to kombucha to design a novel beverage with improved functional and organoleptic characteristics. After fermentation, the antioxidant capacity (AC) of the kombucha increased by 13.96% 2,2-diphenyl-1- picryl-hydrazyl-hydrate (DPPH), 48.90% ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), and 55.54% cupric reducing AC (CUPRAC). On days 0 and 9 of storage, the bioaccessibility of the total phenolics and AC (FRAP and CUPRAC) in all of the samples showed a significant increase after gastric and intestinal digestion when compared …

Potential Effects Of Storage Period, Warehouse Locations, And Methyl Jasmonate In Long-Term Stored Garlic Bulbs, Selen Akan, Nurdan Tuna Güneş

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

In this study, the effect of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) treatments (10-3 and 10-5 M) and two different storage locations such as Ankara and Taşköprü, on some quality parameters, such as weight loss, L* values, soluble solids content, firmness, titratable acidity, total phenolic content, antioxidant capacity, vitamin C and allicin content in garlic bulbs (Allium sativum cv. 'Taşköprü') were investigated during a storage period of six months with three replications (30 bulbs or 120 g cloves). Based on storage periods, storage locations and MeJA treatment effects, the results showed that the storage period significantly affected all parameters except allicin content. MeJA …
