Consumers have increasingly favoured fermented drinks due to their high content of probiotic secondary metabolites. These beverages are believed to possess the capacity to safeguard against non-communicable ailments such as coronary heart disease, cancer, diabetes, antimicrobial infections, and other dietary-related disorders. Lemongrass () is a commonly used botanical ingredient in therapeutic tea production. It is renowned for its highly valuable essential oil, which has significant commercial demand. This study examines the functional content and antioxidant effects of fermented beverages derived from lemongrass. We employed the yeast to carry out the fermentation process on the lemongrass compositions, extending the duration from t = 24 to t = 96 h. We used non-fermented samples as control. This investigation identified numerous active biomolecules and polyphenols in the fermented samples, including flavonoids, tannins, cardiac glycosides, coumarins, terpenoids, steroids, saponins, and reducing sugars. After t = 24 h fermentation, the radical-scavenging activity reached its maximum level of 89.1%, and the antioxidant content reached 13.06 µg/ml, which is equivalent to the amount of ascorbic acid. After t = 36 h fermentation, the total phenolic content reached a concentration of 237.19 µg/ml, while the flavonoid content reached its peak at 55.21 µg/ml after t = 72 h fermentation. Lemongrass fermentation exhibits a wide range of phytochemicals and bioactive components that effectively eliminate free radicals, despite the antioxidant content fluctuation throughout the fermentation period of t = 24 to t = 96 h.
由于益生菌次级代谢产物含量高,消费者越来越青睐发酵饮料。这些饮料被认为具有预防非传染性疾病的能力,如冠心病、癌症、糖尿病、抗微生物感染和其他与饮食相关的疾病。柠檬草()是治疗茶生产中常用的植物成分。它以其极具价值的精油而闻名,这种精油有很大的商业需求。本研究考察了柠檬草发酵饮料的功能成分和抗氧化作用。我们使用酵母对柠檬草成分进行发酵过程,将时间从t = 24小时延长至t = 96小时。我们使用未发酵的样品作为对照。这项调查在发酵样品中鉴定出许多活性生物分子和多酚,包括黄酮类化合物、单宁、强心苷、香豆素、萜类化合物、类固醇、皂苷和还原糖。在t = 24小时发酵后,自由基清除活性达到最高水平89.1%,抗氧化剂含量达到13.06微克/毫升,相当于抗坏血酸的量。在t = 36小时发酵后,总酚含量达到237.19微克/毫升的浓度,而黄酮类化合物含量在t = 72小时发酵后达到峰值55.21微克/毫升。尽管在t = 24至t = 96小时的整个发酵期内抗氧化剂含量有所波动,但柠檬草发酵显示出广泛的植物化学物质和生物活性成分,可有效清除自由基。
