Detailed phenolic composition of Vidal grape pomace by ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

Vidal Blanc grape (Vitis vinifera cv.) is the predominant white grape variety used for the production of icewine in China's Liaoning province. In this paper, the development and validation of the method by ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry has been performed for determination of the detailed phenolic composition in the skin, seed and stem of Vidal grapes. The validation of the method was realized by calculating the linearity, repeatability, precision, stability and the limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) of standard solutions. All the curves exhibited good linearity (r2>0.9997) and the LOD and LOQ were in the range of 0.002-0.025 and 0.006-0.086μg/ml, respectively. Good repeatability (RSD<4.3%) and stability (RSD<3.7%) were also found. Results confirmed that the developed method was more effective and sensitive for simultaneous determination of the major phenolic compounds in Vidal grape pomace. The optimized and validated method of ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography tandem two complementary techniques, fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry and triple-quadrupole mass spectrometry, allowed to identify and quantify up to 35 phenolic compounds in Vidal grape pomace, which has, as far as we know, been reported this grapevine variety for the first time. Seeds, skins and stems exhibited different qualitative and quantitative phenolic profiles. These results provided useful information for recovery of phenolic antioxidants from different parts of icewine pomace.
