The chemical profiling and assessment of antioxidative, antidiabetic and antineurodegenerative potential of Kombucha fermented <i>Camellia sinensis</i>, <i>Coffea arabica</i> and <i>Ganoderma lucidum</i> extracts

Abstract

. Altogether, these results are in accordance with the differences found in the extracts' chemical composition. Finally, this is the first report that highlights the differences in the chemical profile between the unfermented and Kombucha fermented green tea, coffee and Reishi extracts, while it also reveals, for the first time, the antineurodegenerative potential of Kombucha fermented Reishi extract. The examined extracts represent potent functional foods, while their more detailed mechanisms of action are expected to be revealed in future research.
