Vitis vinifera (grapevine) is one of the most important fruit crops, both for fresh consumption and wine and spirit production. The term terroir is frequently used in viticulture and the wine industry to relate wine sensory attributes to its geographic origin. Although, it can be cultivated in a wide range of environments, differences in growing conditions have a significant impact on fruit tra...

Polyphenolic profiles in the berry samples of 344 European grape (Vitis vinifera) cultivars were evaluated for two consecutive years. These cultivars represent a diverse collection of V. vinifera germplasm maintained at the USDA-Agricultural Research Service Vitis Clonal Repository in Davis of California, USA. A total of 36 polyphenolic compounds, including 16 anthocyanins, 6 flavonols, 6 flava...

This study exploited the application of pulsed electric field (PEF) on recovery polyphenols from aerial parts Sideritis scardica, tepals Crocus sativus, and fruits Vitis vinifera. Short pulses 10 μs in a period 1 ms were applied to plant material, while different intensities, 1.2 2.0 kV/cm tested optimize procedure. The content total polyphenolic profile extracts evaluated. Along with PEF sampl...

ABSTARCT Grape (Vitis vinifera) seed extract found to be exhibits wide range of beneficial effects insights to screen the potential compounds which includes polyphenolic compounds both flavonoids and non-flavonoids that show antioxidant effects. In this present study phytochemical screening of alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, polyphenol and flavonoids, tannins, and sterols were presented in t...

Eight major chemicals are identified after analyzing the essential oil of the seeds of three medicinal plants Punica granatum, Vitis vinifera and Cucurbita maxima, using Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Only three of the identified chemicals (Farnesene, Docosane and Tetracosane) were found in all three samples, but in varying proportions. Trans-Squalene was found in Cucurbita maxim...

The grape berries of two varieties, Yan73 (Vitis vinifera L.) and Cabernet Sauvignon (CS) (Vitis vinifera L.) were treated with 0.40 mg/L 24-epibrassinolide (EBR), 1.00 mg/L brassinazole (Brz), and deionized water (control), at the veraison period. The EBR treatment significantly increased total phenolic content (TPC), total tannin content (TTC) and total anthocyanin content (TAC) of Yan73 and ...

Terpenoids were extracted from grape vine bunches during plant development and analysed by GC-MSD. The grapevines analysed were from a commercial harvest of Vitis vinifera cv. Shiraz. The terpenoids were analysed from 4 weeks post flowering (wpf) to harvest in one season. The data are presented with the structure of the compound and aroma profile and semi-quantified. The sub-class of sesquiterp...

As the ancestor of cultivated grape, Vitis vinifera subsp. sylvestris represents a unique, invaluable genetic resource for the improvement of cultivated grapevines. Recently, five populations of wild grapevines were identified in Portugal. Sixty vines were characterized with 11 nuclear SSR markers and further compared with 70 genotypes of Portuguese Vitis vinifera subsp. sativa. The obtained da...

introduction: our previous studies showed that hydroalcoholic extract of leaf of vitis vinifera relaxes the phenylephrine-induced contraction in rat thoracic aorta. this effect was dependent on endothelial integrity and no-cgmp system. the vasorelaxant effect of extract was much lesser on kcl-induced contraction. we, therefore, postulated that k+ channels are involved. the main aim of the prese...
