Abstract

Three table grapes and 4 wine grapes collected from a southern Serbian vineyard were evaluated and compared for their antioxidant properties and phenolic profile. Among the varieties tested, ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ contained the highest total phenolic content with 173.6 mg/100 g of fresh weight. Also, the total flavonoid and antocyanin content of ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ was significantly higher from the other. ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ and ‘Merlot’ had the strongest DPPH· radicals scavenging activity (1,318.6 and 1,282.0 μmol Trolox equivalent/100 g, respectively). ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’, ‘Merlot’, ‘Prokupac’, ‘Vranac’, ‘Muscat Hamburg’, and ‘Ribier’ grape varieties were found to be rich in malvidin-3-O-glucoside, while ‘Cardinal’ grape variety was found to be rich in peonidin-3-O-glucoside. The following compounds were also identified and quantified using HPLC-DAD: 2 flavan-3-ols and 4 hydroxycinnamic acids in all grape samples. The results suggested that phytochemicals in the selected table and wine grapes have potent antioxidant activities in correlation with phenolic content.
