Simultaneous analysis of serotonin, melatonin, piceid and resveratrol in fruits using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry

Regulation of stilbene biosynthesis in plants

“…This fact suggests that stilbenes are implicated in constitutive defense responses in these plant species and are likely to be involved in plant resistance to plant microbial pathogens and pests as constitutively produced compounds. There were also studies reporting on resveratrol and piceid quantification in multiple edible fruits and vegetables, such as strawberry, raspberry, cherry, pepper, tomato, cucumber, carrot, eggplant, lettuce, plum, apple, pear, peach, or grape, that are commercially available (Huang and Mazza 2011;Peng et al 2015). According to Huang and Mazza (2011), grape contained higher amounts of stilbenes than the other analyzed fruits.…”

According to Huang and Mazza (2011), grape contained higher amounts of stilbenes than the other analyzed fruits. Peng et al (2015) concluded that most fruits, vegetables, and herbs analyzed in their study contained higher t-piceid than t-resveratrol levels.…”

“…This was confirmed by Chafer et al (2005), who compared the trans-resveratrol content in grape skin and noted that the level in the grape variety Tempranillo was considerably higher (174.0 mg/kg) than in the varieties Tinto mozueleo, Cabernet,Boval,.3 mg/kg).

“…In their screening of 24 fruits for their content of resveratrol and piceid (trans-and cisforms of both compounds), Huang and Mazza (2011) detected low levels of particularly trans-and cis-piceids in many fruits. A few years earlier, Wang and co-workers (2007) reported on the occurrence of resveratrol in strawberries (0.69-1.48 mg/kg dw), the amount being influenced both by genetic and cultivation/environmental factors.…”
