Mulberry leaves contain various bioactive constituents and are widely used as traditional
medicine and food in Asia. In this study, mulberry leaves were processed by solid-state
fermentation (SSF) using a mixture microbial of Lactobacillus plantarum, Candida utilis,
Trichoderma koningii, and Bacillus cereus. The effects of SSF on the metabolite profile,
antioxidant activity, and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity (GIA) of mulberry leaves were
investigated. UPLC–QQQ–MS/MS-based widely targeted metabolomic analysis showed the …

Eurotium cristatum is the predominant fungus and key contributor to the characteristics of
post-fermented Fu brick tea (FBT) during manufacturing. In this study, the influence of solid-
state fermentation (SSF) with E. cristatum on the chemical profile dynamic changes of dark
tea was investigated. Results indicated that total phenolics, flavonoids, theaflavins,
thearubigins, and galloyl catechins consistently decreased, degalloyl catechins and gallic
acid increased in the initial stage of fermentation and decreased after long-term …
