Abstract:

The color of grape skins shows a rich genetic diversity, ranging from green to yellow, then to red, purple, and even black. The components and content of anthocyanins are the species basis for the formation of red color in grape skins. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of anthocyanins in the skins of 188 grape varieties were carried out using HPLC and HPLC-MS/MS methods. Heatmap and principal component analysis revealed a rich polymorphism and specificity in the composition and content of anthocyanins among different varieties, suggesting that the content of anthocyanin components could serve as an auxiliary indicator for grape variety identification. There is generally a positive correlation between the total content of anthocyanins and the number of components in grape varieties, i.e., the higher the anthocyanin content, the more component types, and vice versa. Peonidin-3-glucoside, cyanidin-3-glucoside, malvidin-3-glucoside, pelargonidin-3-glucoside, and petunidin-3-glucoside are among the anthocyanin components that appear with higher frequency and content in grapes, with the content of non-acylated modification components being higher than that of acylated ones, and the acylated modification components of malvidin having a higher content than other types of anthocyanins. Seven anthocyanin components with the highest content were discovered, among which peonidin-3-glucoside had the highest proportion, followed by cyanidin-3-glucoside and malvidin-3-glucoside. There is a positive correlation between the total anthocyanin content and the total content of acylated components, although some varieties were found to have no acylation or a particularly low degree of acylation. This study provides detailed data on the anthocyanin components and content in the skins of 188 grape varieties, offering an important theoretical foundation and data support for the study of the mechanisms behind grape color formation.
