Cabernet Sauvignon grapes was found to increase during late-stage ripening. Conversely, skin tannin content determined following ethanol extraction (10, 20, and 50% v/v) did not consistently reflect this trend. The results indicated that a fraction of tannin became less extractable in aqueous ethanol during ripening. Skin cell walls were observed to become more porous during ripening, which may facilitate the sequestering of tannin as an adsorbed fraction within cell walls. For ethanol extracts, tannin molecular mass increased with advancing ripeness, even when extractable tannin content was constant, but this effect was negligible in acetone extracts. Reconstitution experiments with isolated skin tannin and cell wall material indicated that the selectivity of tannin adsorption by cell walls changed as tannin concentration increased. Tannin concentration, tannin molecular mass, and cell wall porosity are discussed as factors that may influence skin tannin extractability. KEYWORDS: tannin, anthocyanin, adsorption, ripening, skin, cell wall, porosity, BET, microscopy, molecular mass, gel permeation chromatography ■ INTRODUCTION Due to these conflicting results, it is evident that additional Generally, skin tannins from red grapes are more readily research is required, in particular as new analytical methods become available. Distinguishing extractable tannin from total extracted during vinification than seed tannins, regardless of tannin content is also an important consideration in studies that maceration time.1,2 In wines, later harvest dates are associated have implications for winemaking. Because existing research with an increase in total wine tannin concentration, as well as into the changes in grape skin tannin during ripening has an increase in the molar proportion of prodelphinidin 3,4 primarily employed exhaustive extraction techniques such as (epigallocatechin), which is derived from grape skins. As aqueous acetone or methanol, a pertinent question is the extent such, skin tannin concentration may serve as a useful marker for to which these methods relate to vinification conditions. phenolic maturity in ripening grapes.

The monomers propelargonidin, prodelphinidin and procyanidin were analyzed, as well as extractable condensed tannin (ECT), protein-bound CT (PBCT) and fiber-bound CT (FBCT), molecular weight, degree of polymerization, polydispersity index, and biological activity by protein precipitate by phenols (PPP) of leaves of the legumes Cajanus cajan, Gliricidia sepium, Stylosanthes capitata x Stylosanthes macrocephala (stylo), Flemingia macrophylla, Cratylia argentea, and Mimosa caesalpiniifolia, and of the bark of this latter species. Differences were observed in the concentrations of ECT, PBCT, PPP, and total condensed tannin among species, but not in that of FBCT.

Received June 26, 2013; accepted February 6, 2014 We applied a taxonomic approach to select the Eugenia dysenterica (Myrtaceae) leaf extract, known in Brazil as “cagaita,” and evaluated its gastroprotective effect. The ability of the extract or carbenoxolone to protect the gastric mucosa from ethanol/HCl-induced lesions was evaluated in mice. The contributions of nitric oxide (NO), endogenous sulfhydryl (SH) groups and alterations in HCl production to the extract’s gastroprotective effect were investigated. We also determined the antioxidant activity of the extract and the possible contribution of tannins to the cytoprotective effect. The extract and carbenoxolone protected the gastric mucosa from ethanol/HCl-induced ulcers, and the former also decreased HCl production. The blockage of SH groups but not the inhibition of NO synthesis abolished the gastroprotective action of the extract. Tannins are present in the extract, which was analyzed by matrix assisted laser desorption/ioniza- tion (MALDI); the tannins identified by fragmentation pattern (MS/MS) were condensed type-B, coupled up to eleven flavan-3-ol units and were predominantly procyanidin and prodelphinidin units.

  • Characterization of Proanthocyanidin Metabolism in Pea
    Ferraro et al. BMC Plant Biology 2014, 14:238 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2229/14/238 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Characterization of proanthocyanidin metabolism in pea (Pisum sativum) seeds Kiva Ferraro1†, Alena L Jin2†, Trinh-Don Nguyen1, Dennis M Reinecke2, Jocelyn A Ozga2 and Dae-Kyun Ro1* Abstract Background: Proanthocyanidins (PAs) accumulate in the seeds, fruits and leaves of various plant species including the seed coats of pea (Pisum sativum), an important food crop. PAs have been implicated in human health, but molecular and biochemical characterization of pea PA biosynthesis has not been established to date, and detailed pea PA chemical composition has not been extensively studied. Results: PAs were localized to the ground parenchyma and epidermal cells of pea seed coats. Chemical analyses of PAs from seeds of three pea cultivars demonstrated cultivar variation in PA composition. ‘Courier’ and ‘Solido’ PAs were primarily prodelphinidin-types, whereas the PAs from ‘LAN3017’ were mainly the procyanidin-type. The mean degree of polymerization of ‘LAN3017’ PAs was also higher than those from ‘Courier’ and ‘Solido’. Next-generation sequencing of ‘Courier’ seed coat cDNA produced a seed coat-specific transcriptome. Three cDNAs encoding anthocyanidin reductase (PsANR), leucoanthocyanidin reductase (PsLAR), and dihydroflavonol reductase (PsDFR) were isolated. PsANR and PsLAR transcripts were most abundant earlier in seed coat development. This was followed by maximum PA accumulation in the seed coat. Recombinant PsANR enzyme efficiently synthesized all three cis-flavan-3-ols (gallocatechin, catechin, and afzalechin) with satisfactory kinetic properties. The synthesis rate of trans-flavan-3-ol by co-incubation of PsLAR and PsDFR was comparable to cis-flavan-3-ol synthesis rate by PsANR.

Kennedy School of Agriculture at San Francisco, Atlantida, Honduras. There, and throughout my days as a student at Kansas State University, my daily interactions with friends and professors kept alive and nurtured those aspirations. Undoubtedly, the number of persons and institutions to whom I am indebted for the completion of my PhD career is enormous. I would have not advanced so far into this journey, however, without the encouragement and inspiration provided by my parents, sisters and brothers, who never made a secret of their satisfaction for my chosen career. Throughout my PhD studies, I was fortunate to receive advice and supervision from four great individuals: At the Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT) in Cali, Colombia, I received supervision and most invaluably, friendship from Dr. Carlos Lascano. Ever since we met in 1994, Carlos and I have shared the desire to understand the true impact of tannins in ruminant nutrition.

  • Analysis of Procyanidins and Anthocyanins in Food Products Using Chromatographic and Spectroscopic Techniques
    Analysis of Procyanidins and Anthocyanins in Food Products using Chromatographic and Spectroscopic Techniques DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Taylor Clyde Wallace Graduate Program in Food Science and Technology The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: M. Monica Giusti, Advisor, Sheryl Barringer, Joshua Bomser, and John Litchfield Copyright by Taylor Clyde Wallace 2010 Abstract Procyanidins and anthocyanins are polyphenol compounds widely distributed throughout nature and are important because of their significant presence in the human diet and potential health benefits post consumption. Even though many food scientists, nutritionists, epidemiologists, and medical practitioners have related a decrease in many age and obesity related chronic diseases to the high consumption of fruits and vegetables containing these potent compounds / antioxidants, scientists have still yet to develop standardized protocols for quantification of procyanidins in food because of their structural complexity, polymerization, and stereochemistry. Procyanidins and anthocyanins are considered value added food ingredients in a variety of matrices. Depending on the food matrix, procyanidins, anthocyanins, and other polyphenols may or may not be desirable to the consumers. Monomer forms of procyanidins (flavan-3-ols such as catechin and epicatechin) provide a bitter flavor to food products, but become more astringent / less bitter as polymerization increases. Anthocyanins have a distinct influence on the consumer acceptance of a product because of their ability to produce a natural orange-red to blue-violet color. Consumer demand for healthier high quality food products has driven the industry to create food products with higher concentrations of procyanidins / anthocyanins and the need to develop better techniques for analysis of these phytonutrients.
