Antioxidants in Fruit Wines
FY 2013-14
Summary
Fruit wines made of berries such as blueberry, cloudberry, raspberry, etc. are rich in antioxidants. Antioxidantscan inhibit oxidation of other biological molecules, thus protects critical functions of enzymes. To understandthe chemistry of antioxidants is crucial to the quality of fruit wines and human health. Conventional wineanalysis lacks information of particular antioxidants of interest. In this project, important antioxidants in fruitwines will be identified. An analytical method will be developed to quantitatively characterize antioxidants.The information will be interpreted and used to help wine industry to optimize antioxidants in their wines. Thisresearch project can potentially improve sales of fruit wines in Canada and consequently the health of Canadianconsumers.
