          Abstract

          Phenolic compounds and anthocyanins content in grape juices varies in the cultivar, ripening and climate characteristics. The objective of this work was to characterize and evaluate antioxidant activity of grape juices produced in southwestern Minas Gerais. Grapes were harvested, sanitized and the juices from cultivars 'Bordô', 'Isabel Precoce', 'BRS Violeta' and 'BRS Rúbea' were produced in artisanal equipment by steam extraction and stored for 120 days. The following analyzes were performed during storage: color (L *), pH, soluble solids, titratable acidity, anthocyanins, antioxidant activity (DPPH and β-caroteno/linoleic acid), total phenolics, vitamin C and organic acids. Among the cultivars evaluated, the consumption of grape juice from cultivar 'BRS Violeta' is suggested due to its higher content of vitamin C, antioxidant activity, total phenolics, anthocyanins, and also due to a better physicochemical characteristic showed, when compared to the juices of the other cultivars.

          O teor de compostos fenólicos e antocianinas em sucos de uva varia de acordo com a cultivar, maturidade e características climáticas. Neste trabalho, objetivou-se a caracterização e a avaliação da atividade antioxidante de sucos de uvas americanas produzidas no sudoeste de Minas Gerais. As uvas foram colhidas, sanitizadas, sendo as grainhas e demais partes dos cachos descartadas. Então, os sucos das cultivares Bordô (Vitis labrusca), Isabel Precoce (Vitis labrusca), BRS Violeta (híbrida) e BRS Rúbea (híbrida) foram produzidos em equipamento artesanal por extração em vapor de água, acondicionados em frascos de vidro e armazenados a 18ºC±2ºC por 120 dias. As seguintes análises foram realizadas ao longo do armazenamento: cor (L*), pH, sólidos solúveis totais, acidez titulável, , antocianinas, atividade antioxidante (DPPH e β-caroteno/ácido linoléico), fenólicos totais, vitamina C e ácidos orgânicos. Entre as cultivares avaliadas, sugere-se o consumo do suco de uva da cultivar BRS Violeta, pelos maiores valores de vitamina C, atividade antioxidante, fenólicos totais, antocianinas, além de apresentar melhores características físico-químicas quando comparada ao suco das demais cultivares.

          Metabolite profiling of grape: Flavonols and anthocyanins.

          Flavonols are products of the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway, which also give rise to anthocyanins and condensed tannins in grapes. We investigated their presence in the berry skins of 91 grape varieties (Vitis vinifera L.), in order to produce a classification based on the flavonol profile. The presence of laricitrin 3-O-galactoside and syringetin 3-O-galactoside in red grapes is reported here for the first time. In red grapes, the main flavonol was quercetin (mean = 43.99%), followed by myricetin (36.81%), kaempferol (6.43%), laricitrin (5.65%), isorhamnetin (3.89%), and syringetin (3.22%). In white grapes, the main flavonol was quercetin (mean = 81.35%), followed by kaempferol (16.91%) and isorhamnetin (1.74%). The delphinidin-like flavonols myricetin, laricitrin, and syringetin were missing in all white varieties, indicating that the enzyme flavonoid 3',5'-hydroxylase is not expressed in white grape varieties. The pattern of expression of flavonols and anthocyanins in red grapes was compared, in order to gain information on the substrate specificity of enzymes involved in flavonoid biosynthesis.

            Concord grape juice supplementation and neurocognitive function in human aging.

            Polyphenol compounds found in berry fruits, in particular flavonoids, have been associated with health benefits including improvement in cognition and neuronal function with aging. Concord grape juice contains polyphenols, including anthocyanins and flavanols, and previous research has shown improvement in a number of human health conditions with grape juice supplementation. In the current study, older adult subjects with mild cognitive impairment consumed Concord grape juice or placebo for 16 weeks and were administered assessments of memory function and brain activation pre- and postintervention. Participants who consumed grape juice showed reduced semantic interference on memory tasks. Relatively greater activation in anterior and posterior regions of the right hemisphere was also observed with functional magnetic resonance imaging in the grape juice treated subjects. These findings provide further evidence that Concord grape juice can enhance neurocognitive function in older adults with mild memory decline.
