Proanthocyanidin content,antioxidant capacity and scavenger activity of Portuguese sparkling wines (Bairrada Appellation of Origin)

BACKGROUND: The main object of the present study was to investigate the different proanthocyanidin fraction (monomeric, oligomeric and polymeric fraction) contents, antioxidant capacity and scavenger activity of the most important and representative commercial sparkling wines available in Bairrada Portuguese Appellation of Origin. RESULTS: The white commercial sparkling wines tested had much less total phenolic, proanthocyanidin content, antioxidant capacity and scavenger activity than the sparkling red wines. For all white and red sparkling wines the polymeric fraction of proanthocyanidins was the most abundant fraction quantified. The antioxidant capacity was positively correlated with the different proanthocyanidin fractions studied. However, in general, higher correlations between total polyphenols, different proanthocyanidin fractions and antioxidant capacity were found only for red sparkling wines. CONCLUSION: The results confirm that Portuguese sparkling wines from Bairrada Appellation of Origin are good sources of antioxidants when compared with other wines elaborated from other grapes varieties and from other regions. At same time, good linear correlations between the levels of each different proanthocyanidin fractions and total polyphenols with antioxidant capacity were found for the commercial sparkling wines analysed.

Indian Grape Wines: A Potential Source of Phenols,Polyphenols, and Antioxidants

Indian grape wines are analyzed for total phenolic content and antioxidant activity along with other parameters, such as pH, alcohol content, and reducing sugars. Concentration of polyphenols, like tannic acid, catechol, vanillin, caeffic acid, ferullic acid, and resveratrol, was quantified using reverse phase-high performance liquid chromatography and ultra high performance liquid chromatography. The red wines showed the highest concentration of phenolic content (6.5 ± 0.1 mg/ml) and antioxidant activity (84.60 ± 1%) as compared to white and port wines, while red wine R2 showed the highest radical scavenging activity among red wines and R4 showed the lowest total phenolic content. The white wine W3 showed less total phenolic content and antioxidant activity. Further, a positive correlation between phenolic content and antioxidant activity was observed.

Polyphenolic composition of Spanish red wines made from Spanish Vitis vinifera L. red grape varieties in danger of extinction

Phenolic composition, chromatic characteristics, and antioxidant activity of young wines made from three minority red grape varieties (Moravia Dulce, Rojal and Tortosí) cultivated in the Spanish region of Castilla-La Mancha were studied over two vintages. Phenolic contents were affected by both grape variety and vintage, whereas phenolic profiles were mainly affected by grape cultivar, thus allowing their differentiation The anthocyanin profiles of Moravia Dulce and Tortosí wines were dominated by malvidin 3-glucoside, whereas peonidin 3-glucoside was in Rojal wines. The flavonol profile of Rojal and, in a lesser extent, Tortosí wines were dominated by B-ring di-substituted flavonols (mainly quercetin-type flavonols). In contrast, B-ring tri-substituted flavonols (mainly myricetin-type) predominated in Moravia Dulce wines. All studied wines had high quantities of total resveratrol, especially Rojal and Moravia Dulce wines, although they mainly occurred as cis-isomers. Rojal wines always appeared as the most different single-cultivar wines in all parameters in this study, being characterized by the lowest content of almost all families of phenolic compounds. With regard to the colour characteristics, all the studied wines had normal values to be considered young red wines except for Rojal wines, which should be considered as rosé wines. Finally, all wines showed remarkable antioxidant activity, closely connected with their phenolic content. The results suggest that Moravia Dulce and Tortosí grape cultivars could be appropriate raw materials for the elaboration of quality young red wines, whereas Rojal grapes could be for rosé wines.

Phenolic compounds and total antioxidant potential of commercial wines

Growing evidence of the role of free radicals and antioxidants in health and ageing has focussed great interest on these compounds. The relationship between the total antioxidant potential and the phenolic content of commercial wines was evaluated. A close relationship between total phenolic content and total antioxidant potential for all wines was observed. Capillary zone electrophoresis showed that, in red wines, gallic acid was the highest of the phenolic acids and (+)-catechin and (−)-epicatechin were the next most abundant phenolics. Also, these compounds were strictly correlated with the total antioxidant potential of wines. Total antioxidant potential, by bleaching of 2,2′-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical cations, using gallic acid as standard, could be a practical and simple measurement to evaluate the characteristics of different wines. Furthermore, capillary electrophoresis is a powerful and high-performing tool for evaluating principal antioxidant wine components.     

Characterization of Polish Wines Produced from the Multispecies Hybrid and Vitis vinifera L. Grapes

Phenolic profile, antioxidant activity, and color parameters of Polish wines, produced from the multispecies hybrid and Vitis vinifera L. grapes were analyzed. A principal component analysis was applied, in order to differentiate the investigated wines in terms of content of phenolic compounds. The white wines turned out to be similar to each other in terms of color parameters and the results of principal component analysis, while the red wines strongly differed in this respect. However, the white wine produced from the multispecies hybrid grapes contained a higher level of phenolic acids and flavonoids, as compared to the white wines obtained from the hybrid cultivars. Out of the red wines, Rondo wine, produced from the multispecies hybrid grapevine was the richest in total phenolic and phenolic acids content. Caffeic acid and quercetin were the predominant phenolics in majority of the wines tested.     

Comparative antioxidant and antiproliferative activities of red and white pitayas and their correlation with flavonoid and polyphenol content

Pitaya, commonly known as dragon fruit, has generated considerable consumer interest because of its attractive color and micronutrient content. The present study investigated the total polyphenol and flavonoid content, antioxidant activity against various free radicals, and antiproliferative effect on several cancer cell lines of extracts of flesh and peel of white and red pitayas, collected from Jeju Island, Korea. The total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of 80% methanol extracts of red pitaya peel (RPP) and white pitaya peel (WPP) were approximately 3- and 5-fold higher than those of red pitaya flesh (RPF) and white pitaya flesh (WPF), respectively. Overall, the total flavonoid and polyphenol contents of these extracts were RPP>WPP>RPF>WPF and WPP>RPP>RPF>WPF, respectively. In addition, a study involving nontargeted high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with a photodiode array and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HPLC-PDA-ESI-MS) of different pitaya extracts indicated the presence of phenolic, hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives, flavonol glycosides, betacyanin, and its derivatives with a few unknown compounds. Separately, peel extracts of both red and white pitayas showed higher 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl, hydroxyl, and alkyl radical-scavenging activity than did the corresponding flesh extracts. Both peel extracts also showed stronger antiproliferative activity against AGS and MCF-7 cancer cells than either flesh extract. There was a direct correlation between the phenolic content and antioxidant effect, but no correlation observed between antioxidant activity and antiproliferative activity. These results suggest that the peel of white and red pitaya may be a valuable ingredient in foods and may also be useful in cosmetic, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical applications.     

Phenolics composition and antioxidant activity of wine produced from spine grape (Vitis davidii Foex) and Cherokee rose (Rosa laevigata Michx.) fruits from South China

Wines made from 3 spine grape (Vitis davidii Foex) genotypes-Junzi 1# (JZ 1#), Junzi 2# (JZ 2#), and Liantang (LT)-and Cherokee rose (Rosa laevigata Michx., CR) were evaluated for their phenolics composition and antioxidant activities by several assays, including 2,2'-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS scavenging capacity, cupric ion reducing antioxidant capacity, and metal-chelating capacity). The results showed that CR wine had higher contents of total phenolics, total flavonoids, and oligomeric proanthocyanidins than the 3 spine grape genotype wines and Cabernet Sauvignon (CS) wine. Among the 3 varieties of spine grape wines, JZ 1# had higher contents than the 2 other genotypes. Moreover, the total monomeric anthocyanins in JZ 1# was about 4.5-fold higher than those in CS wine and CR wine. A significance analysis demonstrated that the antioxidant capacity (as measured by the ABTS scavenging capacity and cupric ion reducing antioxidant capacity) of CR wine was significantly higher than that of the control and spine grape wines. With respect to metal-chelating capacity, the CR wine was the strongest amongst all the wine samples tested, followed by JZ 1#. This indicates that CR and JZ 1# wines can potentially be considered as wild fruit wines with abundant phenolic compounds and antioxidant activities. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Spine grape (Vitis davidii Foex) and Cherokee rose (Rosa laevigata Michx.) are 2 species of important wild plants in South China. However, they have not yet been effectively developed and utilized. Recently, some researchers attempted to convert their juice to wine. We anticipate that this research will provide sufficient experimental evidence for their good antioxidant activity and potential for further development and utilization.

Effects of Vinification Techniques Combined with UV‐C Irradiation on Phenolic Contents of Red Wines

Red wines are typically high in phenolic and antioxidant capacity and both of which can be increased by vinification techniques. This study employed 3 vinification techniques to assess the increase in phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacity. Wines were obtained from Bo?azkere grape cultivar by techniques of classical maceration, cold maceration combined with ultraviolet light (UV) irradiation, and thermovinification combined with UV irradiation and changes in phenolic contents were examined. Total phenolic and anthocyanin contents and trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity of wines were measured spectrophotometrically and phenolic contents (+)‐catechin, (–)‐epicatechin, rutin, quercetin, trans‐resveratrol, and cis‐resveratrol were measured by High Pressure Liquid Chromatography with Diode Array Detection (HPLC‐DAD). As a result of the study, the highest phenolic content except for quercetin was measured in the wines obtained by thermovinification combined with UV irradiation. We demonstrated that the highest phenolic compounds with health effect, total phenolic compounds, total anthocyanin, and antioxidant activity were obtained from thermovinification with UV‐C treatment than classical wine making.

Phenolic compounds and antioxidative properties of selected wines from the northeast of Thailand

The phenolic contents and antioxidative properties of selected wines, produced in the northeast of Thailand, were evaluated and compared, particularly those produced at Suranaree University of Technology (SUT) Farm as a case study. Nine wine varieties were used to evaluate their total phenolic content (TPC) by Folin–Ciocalteu method, free radical scavenging efficacy by DPPH method and reducing power by ferric reducing-antioxidant power (FRAP) method. The red wines had significantly higher (p < 0.05) amounts of total phenols, flavonoids and antioxidant activities (AA) compared to white wines. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) was used as a powerful and high performing tool for analysis of principal phenolic compounds in the wines. t-Resveratrol was found in Shiraz, Zinfandel and blended wine varieties. (+)-Catechin was found in all wine varieties, except in Chasselar Dore. (+)-Catechin was present in wines at a higher level than (−)-epicatechin. In red wine, gallic acid was the dominant phenolic acid found.     

Exploring the effect of microwave treatment on phenolic flavonoids,antioxidant capacity,and phenolic in vitro bioaccessibility of sorghum

The effect of microwave treatment on phenolics, flavonoids, antioxidant capacity, and phenolic in vitro bioaccessibility of white and red sorghum was evaluated. After microwave treatment for 40 s, the contents of free, bound, and total phenolics in white and red sorghum increased by 15.6–42.6, 4.0–23.4, and 19.7–66.0 mg gallic acid equivalents 100 g⁻¹ dry weight (DW), respectively, and the contents of free, bound, and total flavonoids increased by 9.4–11.2, 4.8–5.4, and 14.2–16.6 mg rutin equivalents 100 g⁻¹ DW, respectively. With increasing microwave treatment time, the contents of phenolic acids and flavonoids in white and red sorghum first increased and then decreased. Additionally, the changes in antioxidant capacity indicated a similar trend with phenolic contents for white and red sorghum. In vitro gastrointestinal digestion indicated that microwave treatment had no effect on the phenolic bioaccessibility of white and red sorghum but increased the release amount of phenolic acid and antioxidant capacity.

Influence of winemaking techniques on the resveratrol content, total phenolic content and antioxidant potential of red wines

In this paper, the influence of winemaking techniques and cultivars on the resveratrol content, total phenolic content and antioxidant potential of red wines was studied. Wines were made from the cultivars Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Prokupac. Applied winemaking technologies included thermovinification and separation of must from pomace. The analysis of trans- and cis-resveratrol in wines was performed by HPLC, while the total phenolic content and antioxidant potential was determined by spectrophotometric methods. The total resveratrol content in analysed samples ranged from 0.35 to 4.85 mg/l; Merlot wines had the highest average resveratrol content, while the lowest was found for native cultivar Prokupac. Although the resveratrol content depended on grape variety, correlation between the winemaking technology applied and the resveratrol level in wines was not observed. The total phenolic content (TPC) varied from 544.4 to 1410.4 mg/l expressed as gallic acid equivalents, and the antioxidant potential, assayed by DPPH in terms of SC₅₀ (mean scavenging concentration), ranged from 0.58 to 2.91 μl/ml. Obtained results showed that thermovinificated wine samples had higher amount of phenolic compounds. Significant negative correlation was observed (p < 0.05) between the total phenolic content and SC₅₀, but there was no significant correlation (p > 0.05) between the resveratrol content and SC₅₀ or TPC. This study could contribute to the establishment of optimal conditions for producing red wines which contain more beneficial phenolic compounds.     

Effect of in vitro gastrointestinal digestion on the bioavailability of phenolic components and the antioxidant potentials of some Turkish fruit wines

This study was designed to evaluate the effects of in vitro gastrointestinal simulation method on the antioxidant potentials and phenolic profile of some Turkish fruit wines and to compare the results with a Turkish red wine prepared from native grape varieties (Papazkarası). For this purpose, blueberry, black mulberry and cherry wines were studied since they are widely consumed in Turkey. Papazkarası wine was chosen due to the lack of studies regarding this type of wine. Antioxidant potentials of samples were measured with four different methods: DPPH radical-scavenging activity, H₂O₂-scavenging activity, cupric reducing capacity and total antioxidant capacity assays. The phenolic profiles of samples were evaluated by the determination of total phenolic content and HPLC-DAD analysis of seven different molecules. The results of this study provided information not only the effect of gastrointestinal digestion on parameters mentioned above, but also the bioaccessibility about the phenolic compounds found in these four different wine samples.     

A comparative study on the antioxidant properties of Slovakian and Austrian wines

The antioxidant properties of 86 wine samples (35 white and 17 red from the Slovak, and 12 white and 22 red from the Burgenland, regions) were investigated by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical and 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt cation radical (ABTS⁺) as oxidants. Generally, the red wines showed, on the average, more than 10 times higher antioxidant activity towards ABTS⁺ than the white wines. A similar ratio was found for the total phenolics content. A linear correlation was found between the antioxidant activities determined by DPPH and ABTS⁺ and the phenolics concentration. This trend is supported by the significant difference of the total integral value of the aromatic region in ¹H NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectra between the red and white wine samples. The content of the phenolic acid components of 16 selected wine samples determined by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) correlates with the antioxidant activities. No significant differences were found between Slovakian and Austrian wines.     

Antioxidant activities of five Chinese rice wines and the involvement of phenolic compounds

Chinese rice wine has been claimed to have health-promoting effects, which may be related to the antioxidant activity in vivo. In this study, total antioxidant, reducing, free radical scavenging, and superoxide anion radical scavenging activities were determined in five Chinese rice wines (Guyuelongshan, Hongqu, Shousheng, Foshou, and Nuomi) comparing with synthetic antioxidants, such as butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). Ten individual phenolic compounds including caffeic acid, syringic acid, and rutin, (−)-epicatechin, (+)-catechin, gallic acid, vanillic acid, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid and quercetin, were identified and quantified by HPLC. Results indicated that rice wines exhibited high antioxidant power, and that total antioxidant activity, reducing capacity and free radical scavenging activity were highly correlated with total phenolic content. Nuomi with the highest content of phenolic compounds showed the highest antioxidant activity, while Foshou had the lowest content with lowest activity. Syringic acid and (+)-catechin contributed most to the phenolic compounds and were highly correlated with all antioxidant properties (r² > 0.75). However, vanillic acid, p-coumaric acid and quercetin showed little contribution to the antioxidant function.
