Phytochemical Characterization and Antiplatelet Activity of Mexican Red Wines and Their By-products

Red wines and their grape pomaces are important sources of phenolic compounds. Inhibition plateletaggregation is one the mechanisms proposed for cardioprotective effect compounds fromwine pomace; however, content affected by region, variety winemaking process.In present study, antiplatelet red was related to its content(determined spectrophotometric techniques) profile (determined using HPLC-MS/MS). in vitroAnti-platelet aggregation determined human platelets. Results showed that Zinfandel wine andCabernet Sauvignon pomace presented highest content. Phenolic profiles presenteddifferences presence flavonoids oligomeric tannins. from platelet aggregationshowed Merlot Petit Verdot sample highestantiaggregant effect. These results indicate could be thanphenolic pomaces. Cardioprotective pomacecould specific such as monomeric polymeric flavan-3-ols.
