Grape (Vitis vinifera) and pine (Pinus pinaster) bark extracts are widely used as nutritional supplements. Procyanidin-rich fractions from grape and pine bark extract showing different mean degrees of polymerization, percentage of galloylation (percentage of gallate esters) and reactive oxygen species-scavenging capacity were tested on HT29 human colon cancer cells. We observed that the most efficient fractions in inhibiting cell proliferation, arresting the cell cycle in G(2) phase and inducing apoptosis were the grape fractions with the highest percentage of galloylation and mean degree of polymerization. Additionally, the antiproliferative effects of grape fractions were consistent with their oxygen radical-scavenging capacity and their ability to trigger DNA condensation-fragmentation.

Traditional Tibetan medicines elaborately document the health benefits of . However, there have been limited reports on its chemical make-up, presumably because of the complicated separation and purification process. In this work, a methanolic extract of was utilized for targeted separation of 4 key 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl inhibitors employing the medium-pressure liquid chromatography, reversed-phase liquid chromatography in combination with on-line reversed-phase liquid chromatography-1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl detection.

Unbalanced wine astringency, caused by a gap between phenolic and technological grape maturities, is one of the consequences of the global climate change in the vitiviniculture. To resolve it, potential strategies are being currently used, like the addition of commercial yeast mannoproteins (MPs) to wines. In this work, the main interactions responsible for the wine astringent sensation, namely, interactions between human salivary proteins and wine flavanols have been studied by Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and liquid chromatography coupled to DAD and MS detectors (HPLC-DAD-MS), in presence or absence of two MPs with different saccharide/protein ratio.

Currently available proanthocyanidins extraction methods rely on dedicated crops and have low specificity and yield which limits their industrial application. Consequently, the development of novel methodologies and the use of sustainable sources is of great importance. Eutectic solvents have been proposed has good alternatives for conventional solvents due to their low price, easiness of preparation, biocompatibility and ability of being custom made to a specific application.
