Abstract
The purpose of this work is to evaluate the phenolic profile and the antioxidant activity of commercial dealcoholised wines and monitor the stability of their composition over time. This work also aims to test the influence of reverse osmosis (RO) process on phenolic compounds and on the antioxidant activity (AA) of dealcoholised wine. AA was measured by ORAC, DPPH and FRAP assays. Phenolic compounds were determined by LC-DAD. In the commercial dealcoholised wines, AA fell by between 33% and 54% and the concentration of phenolic compounds decreased significantly after 30 days of storage. However, RO process did not significantly affect any phenolic acids, regardless of their chemical structure (benzoic acids, cinnamic acids) and alcoholic degree. The AA and phenolic compounds of these products were monitored for seven months. No significant changes were observed. RO process therefore makes it possible to obtain a healthy, low-alcohol (<2% v/v) product with bioactive compounds that are stable in the product and are similar to those found in the original wine.
