Identification and quantification of valuable phenolic compounds from red wines from western part of Romania

The aim of this paper is to identify and quantify different phenolic compounds known and appreciated for their antioxidant action from five red wines from the west side of Romania.  For the determinations HPLC methods were used, the samples were done in cycles of three for better results. Phenolic acids that drew the attention have different values that ranging from 1.3007 mg/L (elagic acid) to 19.3315 (t-cafftaric acid), some various flavonoids (flavone, flavonoli și flavanoli) the values of which were recorded between 0.9997 mg/L (apigenin) and 56.1617 mg/L (catechin) and the stilbens namely the resveratrol has reached the maximum value of 8.1427 mg/L. The phenolic compounds that were determined lead to the conclusion that autochthonous wines are rich in antioxidant elements, and they are recommended for prophylactic consumption.
