    Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is regarded as one of the world’s most important fruit crops in terms of acreage and commercial worth. Grapes are used to make not only wine but also fresh fruit, dried fruit, and juice. The quality of grapes or wine is significantly affected by environmental factors such as altitude, soil type, and climate. In this study, the 5 white grape varieties (Ağın beyazı, Tahannebi, Kabarcık, Şilfoni, and Besni) grown at different altitudes (800 m, 1000 m and 1200 m) in Turkey were investigated for their vitamin, and phytosterol concentrations as well as lipid peroxidation content. Şilfoni grape harvested at 800 m was found to possess the lowest lipid peroxidation content. High altitudes, were found to reduce lipid peroxidation contents in the Ağın beyazı, Tahannebi, and Kabarcık strains. The highest stigmasterol (98.34 μg/g), and beta-sitosterol (86.90 μg/g) concentrations were found within Şilfoni grape variety harvested at 800 m. The highest vitamin D-2 and D-3 levels were found in Ağın beyazı (1.39 μg/g) and Kabarcık (4.13 μg/g) grape varieties, both harvested at 1200 m. Kabarcık grape, however, revealed the highest concentrations of R-tocopherol (63.09 μg/g) and alpha-tocopherol (24.13 μg/g) at 1200 m within the samples. The highest vitamin K-2 level was determined within the Tahannebi grape (15.44 μg/g) from 1200 m. It was observed that the vitamin and phytosterol concentrations of white grape varieties tended to increase, while the lipid peroxidation values tended to decrease at high altitudes, especially at 1200 m. This study also exhibited a strong relationship among Vitamin D3, R-tocopherol, and alpha-tocopherol in the studied white grape cultivars.

    BIOCHEMICAL COMPOSITION AND ANTIOXIDANT PROFILE OF GEOGRAFICALLY LABELED KOHNU GRAPE (Vitis vinifera L.) CULTIVAR FROM TURKEY

    Akbaba, Emel; Aydin, Sevinc; Sanyurek, Nesrin Karaca

    Vitis vinifera L. is cultivated throughout the World including Turkey which is one of the largest producers of grape. Grape is consumed as fresh or dry fruit as well as used in the wine industry in which good quality of grapes are preferred. Grape is also a part of the traditional Mediterranean diet which is linked to a low risk of cardiovascular and degenerative diseases. Kohnu is a geographically labeled type of grape cultivated in the eastern cities of Turkey. In this study, Kohnu grapes harvested from two different cities of Turkey were compared through phenolic compounds, phytosterols, vitamins, fatty acids, and antioxidative properties. The concentrations of phenolic compounds in the sample from Elazig were obtained to be significantly higher as compared to the sample from Malatya. Especially vanillic acid was found to be much higher in Elazig samples. The concentrations of fatty acids especially palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, oleic acid, and linoleic acid were obtained significantly higher in Elazig samples as compared to Malatya samples. Vitamin and phytosterol concentrations of the samples from Elazig were also determined as higher as compared to Malatya samples. Significantly higher antioxidant activity of Kohnu grape seeds from Elazig was obtained via DPPH radical scavenging activity and MDA levels. The antioxidant profile of Kohnu grape seeds of Elazig samples could be related to phenolic composition and vitamins.
