This study examined the impact of grape flesh polysaccharide, protein, and amino acid contents on polyphenol retention from skins and seeds in Pinot noir () and cold-hardy interspecific cultivars Marquette and Frontenac ( spp.). After isolating grape tissues (skin, seed, and flesh), they were soaked either individually or combined with other tissues in a wine-like solution for up to 7 days. Findings revealed that flesh significantly reduces the concentration of condensed tannin, and mono- and diglucoside forms of anthocyanins in the supernatants, due to its rich content in polysaccharides and proteins. Frontenac skin and flesh tissues were the main sources of soluble proteins, amino acids, and soluble polysaccharides. Surprisingly, Marquette exhibited a higher retention of skin tannin than Pinot noir, likely due to its smaller tannin molecular mass, and a potential competitive effect with anthocyanins for the binding sites of flesh.

Grapes are grown extensively around the world and play a crucial role in overall fruit production globally. The quality of the grape is largely determined by the texture of the flesh, making it a key focus for grape breeders. Our study was conducted on 437 grape accessions using a puncture method to analyze berry texture characteristics.

Grapes, recognized as a nutritionally rich fruit, have been found through extensive research to contain various bioactive components. However, the roles of polysaccharides and their bioactive properties remain unclear. Based on this, in our research, four different grape polysaccharides were obtained using an enzymatic-assisted extraction method.

Most of the carbon found in fruits at harvest is imported by the phloem. Imported carbon provide the material needed for the accumulation of sugars, organic acids, secondary compounds, in addition to the material needed for the synthesis of cell walls. The accumulation of sugars during fruit development influences not only sweetness but also various parameters controlling fruit composition (fruit "quality").

In our study, we discovered a fragment duplication autoregulation mechanism in 'ZS-HY', which may be the reason for the phenotype of red foliage and red flesh in grapes. In grapes, MYBA1 and MYBA2 are the main genetic factors responsible for skin coloration which are located at the color loci on chromosome 2, but the exact genes responsible for color have not been identified in the flesh. We used a new teinturier grape germplasm 'ZhongShan-HongYu' (ZS-HY) which accumulate anthocyanin both in skin and flesh as experimental materials.
