Abstract
BACKGROUND: Wine polyphenols have antioxidant properties. Different polyphe nols have various biological activities on atherogenesis and carcinogesis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The composition on 5 polyphenols of 16 wines of Casti lla (Spain) is determined by HPLC. RESULTS: Polyphenols concentrations varied largely among the different wine s. Most red wines had higher amounts of polyphenols than white wines. CONCLUSIONS: The diverse composition on polyphenols of each wine allows to suggest different biological effects.
