HPTLC Profile of Phenolic Compounds Presents in Extracts Obtained from Different Varieties of White and Red Grape Pomace

Grape pomace is used in different areas in the food and food supplement, cosmetic, pharmaceutic industries, and for compost or animal food. The chemical composition is different between white and red grapes varieties, depending also on the sort of wine obtained. Grape pomace contains various chemical compounds from the following classes: phenolics, proteins, minerals, lipids.  Our goal was to show the HPTLC fingerprint for quality evaluation and total phenol content for the quantitative evaluation of extracts obtained from 4 varieties of grape pomace (Feteasca regala, Riesling, Burgund, Cabernet Sauvignon). The extracts were obtained by UAE and MAE. The HPTLC fingerprints of the extract shown that there are 4 compounds present in all samples: rutin, hyperoside and, chlorogenic and caffeic acids. In all samples was observed the presence of resveratrol. Total phenol content expressed as gallic (GAE) acid equivalents per 100ml extract were between 4.75% and 13.08%.
