It is known that the skins, seeds and vascular tissue contain the bulk of the polyphenolic compounds present in ripe grape berries, however a simple chemical staining technique for these compounds in grapes has not previously been described adequately.
This article provides detail of a technique for the chemical staining of polyphenolic compounds using vanillin-HC1.
Results from testing of the technique on several varieties of Vitis vinfera are discussed.
