Safe to Steep? Temporal Shifts in Microbial Viability  Define the Safety of Prolonged Dandelion Tea Infusions (PRJCA040761)
Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) tea possesses significant nutritional and pharmacological value, but the impact of brewing time on its chemical stability and microbial safety remains unclear. We investigated changes in microbial community structure in dandelion tea under different brewing durations (1, 12, 24, and 36 hours) using 16S rRNA microbiome sequencing.
