Abstract
A method for producing a dry composition from red grapes by natural fermentation that is, once brewed, steeped within hot water, tasteful to ingest as herb tea, and that complementary contains antioxidants, Catechin, Resveratrol, Tannin, Quercetin bearing anti-inflammatory and blood glucose lowering capacities; as well as a human skin rejuvenating natural product derived there from. The method is used to prepare dry composition containing phenolic antioxidants such as catechin, resveratrol, and quercetin, and comprises small parcels made from the grape berry, stalks, skins and seeds of the red grape Vitis labrusca. The method uses the sequential steps of crushing, two successive natural fermentation periods, and drying by utilizing simplified operations.
Claims11
A method for producing a nutraceutical drink for human consumption comprising the steps of:
- a) mixing the berries, stalks, skins and seeds of Vitis labrusca Concord grapes to form a composition, wherein the composition contains catechin, resveratrol, and quercetin;
- b) crushing said composition;
- c) subjecting the crushed composition to a first fermentation cycle for a suitable period of time to produce a first fermentation product consisting of a liquid and solids;
- d) separating the liquid from the first fermentation product, and subjecting the solids to a second fermentation cycle for a suitable period of time to produce a second fermentation product, wherein the first and second fermentation cycles are performed successively and without a chemical catalyst;
- e) drying the second fermentation product to produce a dried product, wherein said drying comprises sun drying and/or oven drying;
- f) grinding the dried product into a coarse or fine powder;
- g) steeping the powder in boiling water for a period of time to produce a nutraceutical drink having a content of catechin of about 63 mg/L and a content of resveratrol of about 1.0 mg/L therein.
