Biological Activities of Polyphenols from Grapes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dietary consumption of grape and its products is associated with a lower incidence of degenerative diseases such as cardiovascular disease and certain types of cancers. Most recent interest has focused on the bioactive phenolic compounds in grape. Anthocyanins, flavanols, flavonols and resveratrol are the most important grape polyphenols because they possess many biological activities, such as antioxidant, cardioprotective, anticancer, anti-inflammation, antiaging and antimicrobial properties. This review summarizes current knowledge on the bioactivities of grape phenolics. The extraction, isolation and identification methods of polyphenols from grape as well as their bioavailability and potential toxicity also are included.

Phenolic content and antioxidant activities of white and purple juices manufactured with organically- or conventionally-produced grapes.
Although the beneficial effects of moderate wine intake are well-known, data on antioxidant capacity of grape juices are scarce and controversial. The purpose of this study was to quantify total polyphenols, anthocyanins, resveratrol, catechin, epicatechin, procyanidins, and ascorbic acid contents in grape juices, and to assess their possible antioxidant activity. Eight Vitis labrusca juices--w...
متن کاملBeyond resveratrol: A review of natural stilbenoids identified from 2009–2013
Polyphenols constitute a large chemical class of phytochemicals among which the stilbenoid sub-class has attracted significant attention due to their elaborate structural diversity and biological activities. Resveratrol, a well-known stilbene, has been extensively studied due to its wide range of biological activities and occurrence in plant foods, including grape and some berries. Apart from t...
متن کاملEvolution of analysis of polyhenols from grapes, wines, and extracts.
Grape and wine phenolics are structurally diverse, from simple molecules to oligomers and polymers usually designated as tannins. They have an important impact on the organoleptic properties of wines, that's why their analysis and quantification are of primordial importance. The extraction of phenolics from grapes and from wines is the first step involved in the analysis. Then, several analytic...
متن کاملCarotenoids, total polyphenols and antioxidant activity of grapes (Vitis vinifera) cultivated in organic and conventional systems
BACKGROUND Organic agriculture involve plants which are cultivated without using synthetic pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers and promotes biodiversity, biological cycles and improve the product quality. The carotenoids, total polyphenols and the antioxidant activity from skins of some wine and table grapes cultivated in organic and conventional agriculture were studied. RESULTS The main c...
متن کاملEvolution of Polyphenols during Vinification and Wine Storage
Beginning with the ‘French Paradox’ observations in the 1990’s much interest has been devoted to the profile and contents of plant secondary metabolites, not only of grapes and wines, but also of numerous other plant foods, due to their assumed health-beneficial properties. Grapes belong to the most important fruit crops, and some 80% of this crop is processed into red and white wines. Anthocya...
