    ÎČ-D-glucopyranosidase, α-L-arabinofuranosidase and α-L-rhamnopyranosidase activities were studied in grapes, both during maturation and in sound and rotten mature fruits. Enzymic activities increased during maturation. At maturity, in sound grapes, ÎČ-D-glucopyranosidase and α-L-arabinofuranosidase activities were the highest ones. Berry infection by fungi results in a decrease in ÎČ-glucosidase activity, while the others increase. The effect of an enzymic extract from a culture of Botrytis cinerea towards synthetic terpenyl glycosides showed that hydrolysis was strong for ÎČ-terpenyl rutinosides and weak for ÎČ-terpenyl 6-0-α-L-arabinofuranosyl-ÎČ-D-glucopyranosides

    Etude du brunissement des vins blancs

    On admet depuis longtemps que les composĂ©s phĂ©noliques jouent un rĂŽle important dans la coloration des vins blancs et sur leur Ă©volution au cours du brunissement. Cependant, de nombreux problĂšmes thĂ©oriques restent Ă  rĂ©soudre dans ce domaine de l'Ɠnologie pour avoir une interprĂ©tation correcte de la nature chimique de la couleur des vins blancs. Dans une publication prĂ©cĂ©dente nous avons montrĂ© l'existence de variations de la teneur en composĂ©s phĂ©noliques au cours du brunissement. Cependant, l'Ă©tude d'un grand nombre d'Ă©chantillons ne permet pas de mettre en Ă©vidence des relations directes entre les teneurs en composĂ©s phĂ©noliques ou leurs variations, d'une part, et l'intensitĂ© du brunissement d'autre part

    HPLC study of the efficiency of extraction of phenolic compounds

    Full text link
    The rate of extraction of phenolic compounds in two different solvents has been studied by liquid chromatography (HPLC) under reverse phase, gradient elution conditions. The solvents were diethyl ether and ethyl acetate. The method has been applied to two natural samples, a white wine and apple pulp.The authors acknowledge the financial support of the Comision Interministerial de Ciencia y Tecnologia (C.I.C.Y.T.).Peer reviewe
