Antioxidant activity of wines and related matters studied by EPR spectroscopy

Antioxidant activity and free radicals were studied in various parts of Vitis vinifera plant in vivo and in wines using EPR spectroscopy. The antioxidant activity was determined by the EPR method based on measuring the changes of EPR spectrum of stable nitroxide radicals as a result of their interac...

Zusammenfassung:Antioxidant activity and free radicals were studied in various parts of Vitis vinifera plant in vivo and in wines using EPR spectroscopy. The antioxidant activity was determined by the EPR method based on measuring the changes of EPR spectrum of stable nitroxide radicals as a result of their interaction with antioxidants. A higher decrease in free Tempol radicals was observed in the leaves of the varieties used for the production of red wines than in those used for the production of white wines. A clear decrease in free Tempol radicals to the average value of 75.5+/-15.6% was established in all wine samples as compared with the original EPR spectrum. A higher antioxidant activity was observed in yeast sediments from the production of red wines than in those from white ones.
