Fermentation of mulberry leaf extract by Aspergillus chevalieri CTCF-AC-1 for flavor improvement and enhanced hypoglycemic activity.
Mulberry leaf extract (MLE) is rich in bioactive compounds with potent hypoglycemic activity, but is constrained by its sensory drawbacks. In this study, Aspergillus chevalieri CTCF-AC-1, isolated from Fu brick tea, was employed to ferment MLE for improving both its flavor profile and functional efficacy. Fermentation...
