Abstract
This research was conducted to investigate the anti-obesity effects of black tea or green tea kombucha (BK, GK) and compared their compositional differences. As a result of kombucha treatment during the adipocyte differentiation process, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ was significantly decreased, and CCAAT/enhancer binding protein α and adipocyte protein 2 showed a tendency to decrease with BK treatment. Oil red O staining results also demonstrated a reduction of lipid accumulation by BK treatment compared to the control. In mature adipocytes, BK significantly upregulated the gene expression of hormone-sensitive lipase and tended to increase the expression of adipose triglyceride lipase and adiponectin. Additionally, as a biomarker of lipolysis, glycerol content also marginally increased with either BK or GK treatment. The differences were observed in tea polyphenol compound and organic acid contents between BK and GK. In conclusion, these results suggest that black tea kombucha may have anti-obesity activity.
期刊介绍:
The FSB journal covers food chemistry and analysis for compositional and physiological activity changes, food hygiene and toxicology, food microbiology and biotechnology, and food engineering involved in during and after food processing through physical, chemical, and biological ways. Consumer perception and sensory evaluation on processed foods are accepted only when they are relevant to the laboratory research work. As a general rule, manuscripts dealing with analysis and efficacy of extracts from natural resources prior to the processing or without any related food processing may not be considered within the scope of the journal. The FSB journal does not deal with only local interest and a lack of significant scientific merit. The main scope of our journal is seeking for human health and wellness through constructive works and new findings in food science and biotechnology field.
