(Tech.) Jinze Dou, Ph.D. Kavindra Kesari This study aimed to clarify the feasibility of utilizing spruce inner bark extract as a sun protection agent in sunscreens. Ultrasound-assisted extraction with 60 v-% ethanol was applied to isolate the extract in 25-30 % yield, that was almost independent of the temperature (45-75oC) and time (5-60 min) of the treatment. However, the yield of stilbene glucosides, measured by UV absorption spectroscopy, was highest after ca. 20 min extraction. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of the extract showed that it consisted mainly of three stilbene glucosides, astringin, isorhapontin and polydatin (piceid). The maximum overall yield of the stilbene glucosides was > 20 %. Extraction with water gave a much lower yield of the stilbene glucosides. Sunscreens composed of a mixture of vegetable oils, surfactants (fatty acids), glycerin, water and the bark extract were prepared with the low-energy emulsification method.

In order to improve the recovery of these molecules, an optimization of the extraction was performed using water. Several extraction parameters were tested and extracts obtained analyzed both in terms of relative amounts of different phytochemical families and of individual molecules concentrations. As a result, low temperature (80 ◦C) and low ratio of bark/water (50 mg/mL) were determined to be the best parameters for an efficient polyphenol extraction and that especially for low molecular mass polyphenols. These were identified as stilbene monomers and derivatives, mainly stilbene glucoside isorhapontin (up to 12.0% of the dry extract), astringin (up to 4.6%), resveratrol (up to 0.3%), isorhapontigenin (up to 3.7%) and resveratrol glucoside piceid (up to 3.1%) which is here reported for the first time for Picea mariana. New stilbene derivatives, piceasides O and P were also characterized herein as new isorhapontin dimers.

  • Stilbenoids - Astringin and Astringinin of Saperavi Grape Variety (Vitis Vinifera L.) and Wine
    Plant Archives Vol. 20 Supplement 1, 2020 pp. 2929-2934 e-ISSN:2581-6063 (online), ISSN:0972-5210 STILBENOIDS - ASTRINGIN AND ASTRINGININ OF SAPERAVI GRAPE VARIETY (VITIS VINIFERA L.) AND WINE M. Bezhuashvili* and M. Surguladze Viticulture and Oenology Institute, Georgian Agrarian University, Tbilisi 0159, Kakha Bendukidze University Campus, David Aghmashenebeli Alley 240, Georgia. Abstract It was identified and determined the stilbenoids – trans-astringinin (piceatannol) and its glucoside trans- astringin in the Saperavi grape variety and dry wine. The study shows that the grape juice is reach with trans-astringin and from the solid parts of grapes (skins, seeds and stems) - grape skin. Trans-astringin and trans-astringinin found in the Saperavi grapes and wine approved their biological activity: they possess the antiradical activity manifested to inhibit the 2, 2-diphenyl-picryl- hydrazyl. From the studied stilbenoids -stilbene tetramers were the most active. Trans-astringin and other stilbenoids do not inhibit the activity of lactobacteria during the process of malolactic fermentation in Saperavi wine. The identification of trans- astringin and trans-astringinin is a novelty for the stilbene profile of Saperavi grapes and wine and important data for substantiating the functional (therapeutic-preventive) purpose of the Saperavi wine.

  • Wine and Grape Polyphenols — a Chemical Perspective
    Wine and grape polyphenols — A chemical perspective Jorge Garrido , Fernanda Borges abstract Phenolic compounds constitute a diverse group of secondary metabolites which are present in both grapes and wine. The phenolic content and composition of grape processed products (wine) are greatly influenced by the technological practice to which grapes are exposed. During the handling and maturation of the grapes several chemical changes may occur with the appearance of new compounds and/or disappearance of others, and con- sequent modification of the characteristic ratios of the total phenolic content as well as of their qualitative and quantitative profile. The non-volatile phenolic qualitative composition of grapes and wines, the biosynthetic relationships between these compounds, and the most relevant chemical changes occurring during processing and storage will be highlighted in this review. 1. Introduction Non-volatile phenolic compounds and derivatives are intrinsic com-ponents of grapes and related products, particularly wine. They constitute a heterogeneous family of chemical compounds with several compo-nents: phenolic acids, flavonoids, tannins, stilbenes, coumarins, lignans and phenylethanol analogs (Linskens & Jackson, 1988; Scalbert, 1993). Phenolic compounds play an important role on the sensorial characteris-tics of both grapes and wine because they are responsible for some of organoleptic properties: aroma, color, flavor, bitterness and astringency (Linskens & Jackson, 1988; Scalbert, 1993). The knowledge of the relationship between the quality of a particu-lar wine and its phenolic composition is, at present, one of the major challenges in Enology research. Anthocyanin fingerprints of varietal wines, for instance, have been proposed as an analytical tool for authen-ticity certification (Kennedy, 2008; Kontoudakis et al., 2011).

Email: [email protected] Received: 17 September 2020 Accepted: 20 October 2020 ABSTRACT As a tropical archipelagic country, Indonesia’s forests possess high biodiversity, including its wide variety of wood species. Valorisation of biomolecules released from woody plant extracts has been gaining attractive interests since in the middle of 20th century. This paper focuses on a literature review of the potential valorisation of biomole- cules released from twenty wood species exploited in Indonesia. It has revealed that depending on the natural origin of the wood species studied and harmonized with the ethnobotanical and ethnomedicinal knowledge, the extractives derived from the woody plants have given valuable heritages in the fields of medicines and phar- macology. The families of the bioactive compounds found in the extracts mainly consisted of flavonoids, stilbenes, stilbenoids, lignans, tannins, simple phenols, terpenes, terpenoids, alkaloids, quinones, and saponins. In addition, biological or pharmacological activities of the extracts/isolated phytochemicals were recorded to have antioxidant, antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetes, anti-dysentery, anticancer, analgesic, anti-malaria, and anti-Alzheimer activities.

Academic Editor: Derek J. McPhee Received: 16 February 2015 / Accepted: 2 April 2015 / Published: 8 April 2015 Abstract: Grape cane, leaves and grape marc are waste products from viticulture, which can be used to obtain secondary stilbene derivatives with high antioxidant value. The presented work compares several extraction methods: maceration at laboratory temperature, extraction at elevated temperature, fluidized-bed extraction, Soxhlet extraction, microwave-assisted extraction, and accelerated solvent extraction. To obtain trans-resveratrol, trans-ε-viniferin and r2-viniferin from grape cane of the V.

Over the past 27 years numerous clinical studies have found a linkages with the ANTIOXIDANTS in particular, the POLYPHENOLS, RESVERATROL, CATECHINS, QUERCERTIN and ANTHOCYANDINS in red wine and reduced incidences of cardiovascular disease. However, the alcohol in wine limits the benefits of wine. Studies have shown that zero alcohol red wine and red wine extract which contain the same ANTIOXIDANTS including POLYPHENOLS, RESVERATROL, CATECHINS, QUERCERTIN and ANTHOCYANDINS has the same is not more positive health benefits. The following literature review details some of the most recent positive health benefits derived from the ANTIOXIDANTS found in red wine POLYPHENOLS: RESVERATROL, CATECHINS, QUERCERTIN and ANTHOCYANDINS. The positive polyphenolic antioxidant effects of the polyphenols in red wine include: • Cardio Vascular Health Benefits • Increase antioxidants in the cardiovascular system • Assisting blood glucose control • Skin health • Bone Health • Memory • Liking blood and brain health • Benefits
