Abstract
Flavonol and flavan-3-ol extractabilities from red grape skins were evaluated in Tempranillo grapes harvested at different ripeness stages and with different soluble solid contents within each stage. Flavan-3-ol extractability is related to ripeness stage and also to cell wall composition, mainly to arabinogalactans (AG), mannans, rhamnogalacturonans-I (RG-I), homogalacturonans (HG), xyloglucans (XG), and total polysaccharides content, which are negatively correlated to flavan-3-ol extractability, whereas soluble solid content did not exert any influence on their extraction. Moreover, procyanidin extraction is more strongly related to cell wall composition than prodelphinidin extraction. Flavonol extractability was not influenced by insoluble material contents; although some cell wall components presented a relationship with flavonol extractability, the presence of AG and mannans would decrease total flavonol extractability, whereas protein is positively related to total and major flavonol compounds (i.e., quercetin and myricetin derivatives). The different behaviors observed between those two groups of polyphenol compounds could be due to different tissue and cellular location.
