Polyphenolic compounds in seeds from some grape cultivars grown in Serbia

Abstract

Seed extracts from eight grape cultivars (Vitis vinifera) growing in Serbia were screened for their polyphenolic composition by means of HPLC/PDA/ESI/MS analysis. The study revealed 34 phenolic compounds belonging to the following groups: flavan-3-ol monomers, proanthocyanidins, flavonols, hydroxycinnamic acid and hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives. The quantities of the main constituents were determined using PDA/HPLC. Qualitative and quantitative differences among the cultivars were observed.
