Study of biological properties on extracts and plant polyphenols from greek grape varieties (vitis vinifera)

Abstract

In the present study, extracts (methanolic and water) and fractions enriched in polyphenols from two Greek grape varieties, Mandilaria Santorini (red grapes) and Assyrtiko Santorini (white grapes), as well as monomeric plant polyphenols present in them were tested for their biological activity. The tested plant polyphenols were: three hydroxycinnamic acids (cafeic acid, ferulic acid and coumaric acid), two hydroxybenzoic acids (gallic acid and protocatechuic acid), four flavonoids (quercetin, rutin, (+)-catechin and (-)-epicatechin) and trans-resveratrol. The following biological properties were investigated: 1) The antioxidant activity by using the DPPH method. 2) The effect of the tested compounds on mutagenicity induced by oxidative factors. In this case, the following methods were used: i) DNA strand breakages induced by mitomycin C in plasmid DNA, ii) mutations induced by bleomycin and hydrogen peroxide in bacterial cells (Salmonella typhimurium TA102) and iii) SCEs induced by mit ...
