Abstract

The reaction between (+)-catechin and glyoxylic acid in model solution system was investigated by LC/DAD and LC/ESI-MS analyses. The formation of phenolic compounds exhibiting absorption maxima near 300 nm and presenting a shoulder around 350 nm was observed. Their structures consisted of a (+)-catechin unit with one or two aldehyde groups linked at positions 6, 8 or 6 and 8 of the A ring. In addition, new yellow pigments exhibiting UV-visible spectra similar to those of xanthylium salts with absorption maxima at 450 and 280 nm were also detected. The major yellow compound was isolated and identified by ESI-MS and 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy. The implication of these compounds in color change and browning observed during aging of grape-derived beverages is also discussed.
