Few studies compared the effects of non-fermented and fermented tea among the general population. We aimed to compare the risk of incident osteoporosis (OP) between non-fermented tea and fermented tea drinkers by this retrospective nationwide population-based analysis from the Taiwan Biobank. Participants ≥ 40 years who drink fermented tea (n = 2205) were compared with those who drink non-fermented tea (n = 1034) from 2008 to 2015 with a mean follow-up period of 3.64 years. OP was defined by T-score ≤ - 2.5. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression models were performed to estimate the risk of developing OP between the two groups. Separate models were used to determine the relationship between tea consumption and OP stratified by sex and age. There was a significant interaction between sex, age, and type of tea consumed. In men aged ≥ 60 years, the risk of developing OP decreased by 79% for those who drank non-fermented tea (hazard ratio, 0.21; 95% confidence level, 0.05-0.94) than those who drank fermented tea. Additionally, those with a family history of OP had a higher risk of developing osteoporosis. This study suggests that male elderly who consume non-fermented tea have a lower risk of OP. Drinking non-fermented tea, such as green tea, could be suggested, especially for those with a family history of osteoporosis.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on three coffee estates in New South Wales, aiming to enhance the flavor profiles of Australian coffee through different processing methods (wet fermented and non-fermented).
- Researchers analyzed 33 volatile compounds in both green and roasted coffee beans, identifying various esters, alcohols, acids, and more, while also assessing sensory characteristics like appearance and flavor.
- Findings indicated that wet fermentation improved certain desirable aromas and flavors in coffee, particularly enhancing notes associated with premium coffees, such as "black tea leaves" and "dark chocolate."

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.

Article Synopsis
- The study explored how different fermentation levels (non-fermented, semi-fermented, and fermented) affect the chemical and biological properties of Moringa oleifera Lam. shoot (MOS) teas.
- Results showed that fermented MOS tea had the highest levels of beneficial compounds like phenolics and flavonoids, while antioxidant activities were strongest in non-fermented tea.
- Fermented MOS tea also demonstrated superior α-amylase inhibitory activity, though non-fermented and semi-fermented teas performed better in terms of antimicrobial properties against certain bacteria.
Enhancing the Flavor Profile of Summer Green Tea via Fermentation with RAF106.

College of Food Science, South China Agricultural University, Guangzhou 510642, China.
Summer green tea (SGT) has a low cost and high annual yield, but its utilization rate is limited due to suboptimal quality. The aim of this study is to enhance the flavor of SGT using fermentation with RAF106 while examining changes in its metabolites during this process. The results revealed an elevation in the content of alcohol, alkanes, and nitroxides in tea leaves following the process of fermentation.

In this study, an attempt was made to evaluate the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and protective effects of the fruit extract and its ferment obtained by fermentation with kombucha tea fungus. For this purpose, fermented and non-fermented extracts were compared in terms of their chemical composition by the HPLC/ESI-MS chromatographic method. The antioxidant activity of the tested samples was assessed using DPPH and ABTS assays.
