Abstract
This study investigated the fermentation mechanism, in vivo antioxidant mechanisms, and potential health effects of mulberry wine. By utilizing yeast to ferment mulberry juice, we revealed changes in antioxidant capacity and metabolite dynamics through non-targeted metabolomics. A total of 718 differential metabolites were identified, with 586 up-regulated and 132 down-regulated during fermentation. Enrichment analysis highlighted pathways such as flavone, flavonol, and isoflavonoid biosynthesis as essential to antioxidant quality control in mulberry wine production. Bioinformatics identified core antioxidant targets in vivo, including IGF1R, BCL2L1, MET, and KDR, which exert antioxidant effects via the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. The reliability of this analysis was supported by molecular docking, suggesting that pinoquercetin may play a significant role in the antioxidant mechanisms of mulberry wine. Analyses of the KEGG and DO databases suggested that mulberry wine may help prevent bladder cancer and reproductive system tumors, providing valuable insights into its fermentation process and associated health benefits.
