Acid hydrolysis conditions do affect the non-extractable phenolic compounds composition from grape peel and seed.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of hydrolysis conditions on non-extractable phenolic compounds (NEPC) composition of grape peel and seed powder. The effect of temperature (50-90 °C), hydrochloric acid concentration (0.1-15.0 %), and time (5-20 min) were evaluated to understand their impact on NEPC release/extraction and degradation. The use of 1.0 and 8.0 % of HCl concentrations (v/v) and temperatures of 65 and 80 °C produced extracts with higher concentrations and a larger set of compounds. These conditions promoted a balance between release/extraction and degradation processes, thereby maximizing the NEPC content in the extracts. Furthermore, the results suggest that hydrolysis conditions can be set to modulate the release of specific classes. Non-extractable proanthocyanidins showed higher concentrations when intermediate values of temperature and acid concentration were applied. Hydrolysable tannins and hydroxybenzoic acids, on the other hand, were better extracted using higher acid concentrations and higher temperatures. The results suggest that the concentration and composition of NEPC are influenced by the hydrolysis conditions and the type of matrix. Hence, it is crucial to account for this compositional variation when conducting research on the biological effects of NEPC and when using this fraction as supplements or food ingredients.
