Cuantificación por HPLC de Trans-resveratrol en la uva Isabella (vitis labrusca) cultivadas en la Unión-Valle del Cauca

Abstract

The Isabella grape (Vitis labrusca) is a variety that has been optimally adapted to the climatic conditions of La Unión-Valle del Cauca, and has had good acceptance in local markets. Currently the grape is consumed fresh and its phenolic content is unknown. According to epidemiological studies, the presence of bioactive compounds with antioxidant capacity such as trans-resveratrol, can exert a protective effect against some diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disorders. For this reason, with this work the quantification of the trans-resveratrol present in the epicarp of the Isabella grape (Vitis labrusca) grown in La Unión-Valle del Cauca is performed, using high efficiency liquid chromatography (HPLC) with ultraviolet detector. It will ensure that the method to follow complies with the evaluation parameters (linearity, precision and accuracy). It is also intended to contribute to a methodological proposal for the extraction (liquid-liquid with acidified methanol) and purification of trans-resveratrol.
