“…Wine is known to contain free flavanols (e.g. quercetin, myricetin, kaempferol) and their conjugates (glucoside, galactoside and glucuronide) in varying ratios, depending on the grape cultivars, region and wine-making practices (Castillo-Munoz, GomezAlonso, Garcia-Romero, & Hermosin-Gutierrez, 2007;Monagas et al, 2005a;Tsanova-Savova & Ribarova, 2002). Since the conjugates are more stable than the free forms, it was expected that the concentrations of the conjugates would be higher in the wines in the present study, as found in other studies (Castillo-Munoz et al, 2007;Tsanova-Savova and Ribarova, 2002).…”
