Abstract

Experiments were conducted to evaluate twelve seeded grape genotypes, including three white (B-27-1, Italia and Sauvignon Blanc) and nine colored (Cardinal, Carolina Black Rose, Chasan-B, H-144, H-27, Kyoho, Muscat Hamburg, Punjab MACS Purple and Pusa Navrang). The seeds were separated manually to ascertain the potential of natural antioxidants and finding out the suitable genotype for cultivation. Among the evaluated coloured and white genotypes, the highest total phenols, flavonoids, anthocyanins (2.15 mg/100 g), hydroxyl radicals scavenging activity (57.29 %) and total antioxidants (76.21 %) were found in the seed extracts of Pusa Navrang. Further high nutraceutical properties of seeds were recorded with Pusa Navrang followed by H-27 due to the teinturier trait of berries, whereas other genotypes had pale juice color and lacked anthocyanins in the pulp and seeds. Pusa Navrang, Kyoho, and Sauvignon Blanc exhibited the highest enzymatic activities for phenylalanine ammonia lyase, peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase respectively. The high correlation coefficient (R²) between phenolic content and antioxidant activity was also recorded. This study valuable insights into the nutraceutical potential of various grape genotypes, offering opportunities to repurpose juice and wine industry byproducts into nutraceutical products. Such initiatives could enhance the economic benefits for grape growers.
